Ultrafast Diagnostics Satisfy the Need for Speed

摘要

Everything about modern life seems to be moving faster and faster as we progress toward the future. Even our vocabulary of the last half-century reflects this trend with expressions such as fast food, minute rice, and instant messaging. The general acceleration of life is mirrored in the challenges of today's science and engineering as demonstrated in the interest in instantaneous kinetics of chemical reactions, ever-faster electronic processing, and the steady increase of bandwidth for speedier communications.
