>A zeptosecond is a trillionth of a billionth of a second (10-21 seconds).

Wow. Seriously impressive work.

In what situations would one use this measurement?

I am curious about applications too. I wonder if this is somehow related to being able to do protein folding

Not sure, but theoretically it's precise enough to measure the time dilation caused by the gravitational field of a baseball. Pretty mind-blowing.
