High-shutter-speed photography has come a long way from Muybridge's galloping horse in 1887 and even from Edgerton's strobe work in the 1950s and '60s. Milliseconds are an eternity compared to the attosecond images of electron drift we see today, if you get our drift.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. -- A clear vial filled with amber fluid rests on scientist Ilya Raskin's desk, glinting in the autumn sunlight streaming through his office window. The container, a small glass bottle with a plain white screw-top, contains a substance Raskin calls 006. "Double-zero-six" is potentially more precious than the rarest topaz....
