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.
