Strong field laser physics investigates the interaction between intense laser pulses and matter, a domain where non-linear phenomena such as multiphoton absorption, tunnelling ionisation, and ...

A team of physicists from the University of Ottawa have developed a new theoretical model that shines new light on how scientists understand the way lasers interact with dense matter, such as solids ...

As nations around the world race to decarbonize as climate change intensifies, the promise of virtually unlimited clean energy has given new life and funding to nuclear fusion. Focused Energy is a ...

Recent advances in ultrafast laser technology have enabled precise interrogation of molecular dynamics on timescales down to tens of femtoseconds. This field investigates how strong laser fields ...

Bringing protons up to speed with strong laser pulses -- this still young concept promises many advantages over conventional accelerators. For instance, it seems possible to build much more compact ...

Strong laser fields were supposed to be the cleanest way to watch electrons move, yet the latest experiments show that the vacuum itself can quietly reshape what those fields do. By flooding matter ...
