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 ...

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 ...

Using intense X-rays, researchers captured a buckyball as it expanded, split and shed electrons under strong laser fields. Detailed scattering measurements showed how the molecule behaves at low, ...
