technology.newscientist.com — However hard you stare, you would still miss it. Researchers have found a way to generate the shortest-ever flash of light ? 80 attoseconds (billionths of a billionth of a second) long. Such flashes have already been used to capture an image of a laser pulse too short to be "photographed" before (see right).

This is not a captured photon (also called a wave), as photons cannot be photographed by definition.

Talk about nonsensical conclusions. Everything that exists contains energy, so I don't know what you're trying to say in your first sentence.

That's not something to be proud of.

I like how the videos are credited to 'Science.'

FTA: "...attoseconds, the atomic unit of time, defined as how long it takes an electron to travel from one side of a hydrogen atom to the other."

Yep and everything has wave characteristics see that big freakin' area of physics called Quatum Mechanics.
