Researchers have demonstrated that intense laser fields, particularly at low frequencies, can significantly enhance nuclear ...

Within our comfortable world of causality we expect that reactions always follow an action and not vice versa. This why the recent chatter in the media about researchers having discovered ‘negative ...

A team of researchers has successfully demonstrated nonlinear Compton scattering (NCS) between an ultra-relativistic electron beam and an ultrahigh intensity laser pulse using the 4-Petawatt laser.

Chiral metasurfaces can strongly twist the polarization of light, but how this process unfolds in space and time has been unclear. Scientists in China have now used ultrafast electron microscopy and ...

Photons are massless quantum particles that form light. They travel at incredible speeds and interact with various forms of matter. The emission of photons from atoms and molecules can lead to an ...

The increasing demand for advanced optoelectronic devices necessitates the development of materials that can efficiently absorb and manipulate light at the nanoscale. This research explores the unique ...

Lighten up, people: a fascinating new paper has dropped that describes the shape of a single photon, the smallest possible form of energy in an electromagnetic field that we commonly know as light.
