Attosecond Lighthouses May Help Illuminate the Tempestuous Sea of Electrons

Attosecond science's current lack of major discoveries bears some resemblance to the Large Hadron Collider just going through its shakedown exercises on the French-Swiss border, or the Hubble Space Telescope back when it sat on the launchpad--loaded with delicate mirrors, magnets, electronics, spectroscopes, cameras and the hopes of a corps of scientists already excited despite no achievements yet in hand.
