Attosecond
An attosecond is a unit of time equal to 10^-18 seconds, used to measure extremely short durations, particularly in atomic and subatomic processes.
History/Origin
The attosecond was introduced in the early 21st century as scientists developed ultrafast laser techniques to observe electron dynamics, marking a significant advancement in time measurement at atomic scales.
Current Use
Attoseconds are primarily used in physics and chemistry to study ultrafast phenomena such as electron movements, chemical reactions, and quantum dynamics, often through attosecond laser pulses and spectroscopy.
Fortnight
A fortnight is a period of two weeks, equivalent to 14 days.
History/Origin
The term 'fortnight' originates from the Old English 'fēowertīene niht', meaning 'fourteen nights'. It has been used in English since the 16th century to denote a two-week interval.
Current Use
The term 'fortnight' is still used in British English and some other English-speaking regions to specify a two-week period, especially in scheduling and planning contexts.
