How do different materials react to the impact of ions? This is a question that plays an important role in many areas of research—for example, in nuclear fusion research, when the walls of the fusion ...

Scientists show that it is possible to make a femtosecond laser that fits in the palm of one's hand using a glass substrate. Is it possible to make a femtosecond laser entirely out of glass? That's ...

In a recent study published in Physical Review Letters, an international team of researchers examined how ions interact with graphene and molybdenum disulphide (MoS 2) on timescales of one femtosecond ...

Granular detail: Femtosecond lasers were used to produce this multiphoton microscopy image of lung tissue. (Source: M L Groot, VU Amsterdam/Flash Pathology BV) Fibre-based femtosecond lasers are ...

Convoluted neural networks learn how to optimize femtosecond laser patterning parameters. Credit: Journal of Physics: Photonics From additive 3D printing to subtractive ablative eye surgery, laser ...

Ultrafast imaging plays an important role in physics and chemistry to investigate the femtosecond dynamics of nonuniform samples. The method is based on understanding phenomena induced by an ...

Many important scientific questions in physics, chemistry and biology require effective methodologies to spectroscopically probe ultrafast intra- and inter-atomic/molecular dynamics. However, current ...

The interactions in photovoltaic materials that convert light into electricity happens in femtoseconds. How fast is that? One femtosecond is a quadrillionth of a second­­. To put that in perspective, ...
