To help compare orders of magnitude of different times this page lists times between 10−18 seconds and 10−15 seconds (1 attosecond and 1 femtoseconds) See also times of other orders of magnitude.
The word attosecond originates from the Nordic word for eighteen (atten).
- shorter times
- 1 attosecond - estimated time it takes for an atomic nucleus to recoil
- about 100 as – record for shortest time interval measured as of February 2004 (BBC News)
- about 200 as – half-life of beryllium-8 which is important for stellar nucleosynthesis
- 250 as – the shortest pulses of laser light yet created (2002)
- 320 as – estimated time it takes electrons to hop between atoms
- longer times
