In high-intensity laser–matter interactions, including laser-induced particle acceleration, physicists generally want to work ...

Muons are unstable subatomic particles that spontaneously and rapidly transform into other particles via a process known as ...

This year's Nobel Prize in Physics has been "split" — with one half going to Arthur Ashkin, an American who won for his work with optical tweezers, while Gérard Mourou of France and Donna Strickland ...

Strong-field laser physics investigates the interaction between intense laser fields and matter, revealing complex ionization dynamics that extend far beyond traditional perturbative regimes. At these ...

Lucian Hand argues that physicists’ multi-disciplinary training makes them ideally suited for a career in the laser industry, where the challenges and opportunities vary almost daily (Courtesy: UAB ...

Every year, the most prestigious prize in the most fundamental of the natural sciences is given out: the Nobel Prize in Physics. Some recent prizes have literally shook our understanding of the ...
