Johannes Schötz presents the first measurements of optical electro-magnetic§near-fields around nanostructures with subcycle-resolution. The ability to§measure and understand light-matter interactions on the nanoscale is an§important component for the development of light-wave-electronics, the control§and steering of electron dynamics with the frequency of light, which promises a§speed-up by several orders of magnitude compared to conventional electronics.§The experiments presented here on metallic nanotips, widely used in experiments§and applications, do not only demonstrate the feasibility of attosecond§streaking as a unique tool for fundamental studies of ultrafast nanophotonics§but also represent a first important step towards this goal.§
