When researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research performed the first ultrafast x-ray crystallographic experiments on myoglobin in 2015, they didn’t realize they had done the wrong ...

Femtosecond laser pulses, with durations on the order of 10⁻¹⁵ seconds, have transformed the landscape of ultrafast optics by enabling the exploration of rapid light–matter interactions. The dynamics ...

When cities transform into a colorful world of lights as darkness falls, it's often only possible to estimate their contours, which depending on the perspective can draw the attention to key details ...

Ultrafast laser-material interactions are pivotal for advanced manufacturing, yet existing techniques often fail to capture comprehensive structural and optical changes simultaneously. In a new paper ...

In a recent article published in Light: Science & Applications, researchers from China developed a single-mode double-pulsed nanolaser utilizing self-assembled perovskite multiple quantum wells (MQWs) ...

(Nanowerk News) By illuminating a sample surface with short laser beam pulses, it is possible to film sequences of various chemical and physical reactions. A research team that included researchers ...

Max Planck Institute & ETH Zurich reveal “deeper understanding of ultrafast dynamics”. An intense laser pulse (red) hits a flow of water molecules. The behavior of electrons in liquids determines a ...

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) involves a laser ablation procedure, where a laser pulse interacts with a material surface to induce the formation of a plasma plume that expands away from the surface.
