So the #Nobelprize has gone to three physicists who look at some of the most fundamental of chemical problems: what the electrons are doing on very short timescales. Attoseconds (also mysteriously referred to as a quintillionth of a second what ever that is) is an incredibly short: 1 part in 10^18. It allows you to see electrons hopping between energy levels. This stuff is hard, but also deeply revealing of the internal dynamics of atoms, molecules and matter generally.
