TL;DR: The confinement of the nonlinear interaction of light with matter to a single wave cycle is reported on and its utility for time-resolved and strong-field science is demonstrated.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a laser-based sampling system, consisting of a few-femtosecond visible light pulse and a synchronized sub-feminine soft X-ray pulse, allows us to trace the relaxation dynamics of core-excited atoms directly in the time domain with attosecond resolution.

TL;DR: With the current ∼750-nm laser probe and ∼100-eV excitation, the transient recorder is capable of resolving atomic electron dynamics within the Bohr orbit time.

TL;DR: The ability to obtain direct time-domain access to charge dynamics with attosecond resolution by probing photoelectron emission from single-crystal tungsten is demonstrated and illustrates thatAttosecond metrology constitutes a powerful tool for exploring not only gas-phase systems, but also fundamental electronic processes occurring on the attose Cond timescale in condensed-matter systems and on surfaces.

TL;DR: Ultrafast metrology reveals a 20-attosecond delay between photoemission from different electronic orbitals in neon atoms and theoretical models refined with the help of attosecond timing metrology may provide insight into electron correlations and allow the setting of the zero of time in atomic-scale chronoscopy with a precision of a few attose Cond.
