In addition to literally shedding new light on the processes by which high harmonics are generated by high-intensity laser–matter interactions, Thaury et al. demonstrate beyond a shadow of a ...

This is the age of controlling nature at the quantum level ... of our research is breaking quantum limits using collective interactions between laser-cooled atoms and a single mode of an optical ...

"Laser light casting a shadow was previously thought impossible since light usually passes through other light without ...

Researchers create a visible shadow using only a laser beam, an achievement that seemingly defies conventional physics.

However, the interactions are usually weak and comparable in strength to thermal fluctuations. Therefore, these relatively fragile forms of matter easily respond to mechanical stresses, electric and ...

The modeling of this complex, multiphysics, and multiscale phenomenon, experimentally validated, can now be used to control laser/matter interaction, with the aim of optimizing material processing ...

For the first time, an international research team has designed realistic photonic time crystals—exotic materials that ...
