Atomic Clock Can Determine Absolute Timing of the Photoelectric Effect VIENNA, Austria, Sept. 20, 2018 — According to scientists at the University of Vienna (TU Wien), it is now possible to measure the photoelectric effect. The TU Wien team, together with research groups from Garching, Munich, and Berlin, determined the duration of the photoelectric effect at a tungsten surface. When light falls on certain materials, electrons are released from the surface. In attoseconds, an electron of the material will absorb a photon, “jump” into another state and leave the surface. This
