The past 15 years of human history are the temporal equivalent of those subatomic particles that are created in accelerators and vanish in a trillionth of a second, but in that .
For one thing, the new observations bolster the theory of inflation: the notion that the universe went through a period of turbocharged expansion before it was a trillionth of a .
It can discern one trillionth of a part of a foreign substance in anything presented to its wrenching beam.
Speedy Magnetite Switch Makes Blink of an Eye Seem Poky Researchers at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford University have created an experimental switch that goes between on and off in one trillionth of a second. This was done by blasting samples of magnetite with a laser to rearrange their atomic structure. The scientists then used ultrabright, ultrashort X-ray pulses to measure how long it took for the switch to go from off to on.
