Physics Lecture Series 2013 - Using a Time Machine to Explore Atomic Physics

Principal speaker

Associate Professor Robert Sang

 Physics Lecture Series 2013


Give your grey matter a work out; from the world’s first photo of an atom’s shadow to time travel, the Physics Lecture Series 2013 showcases an array of exciting research at Griffith University. The lectures are delivered at a first year student level and are open to the public.

How long does it take an electron to orbit on atom? Answer: an attosecond (a billionth of a billionth of a second). What happens when you pulse laser for an attosecond on different materials? A new x-ray light source that can effectively freeze time and control these very fast atomic and molecular processes. If it all sounds a bit like sci-fi come along and found out more about this ground-breaking research from Australian Attosecond Science Facility, at Griffith University.
