| After each successive peak of the ionizing laser pulse (red) travels through the sample, the probability of an electron tunnelling (green) increases step-wise. This quantum-mechanical process was predicted to occur over four decades ago, but has only now been seen in real time by Ferenc Krausz and colleagues at the Max-Planck Institut für Quantenoptik.
