We asked #ICFOnians to trace ICFO in just 1 minute 🖊️ Each person focused on different details: the bike, the letters, the tree…
Just like in research, it’s the mix of perspectives that leads to meaningful results.
Happy New Year! Here’s to a year full of collaboration and opportunities 🤝

This is the fastest flash of light, faster than the atomic unit of time (24.2 attoseconds).
This enables it to capture how matter behaves and interacts at atomic and subatomic scales with unprecedented temporal resolution.
