Scientists at the University of Oxford have unveiled a pioneering method for capturing the full structure of ultra-intense laser pulses in a single measurement. The breakthrough, published in close ...

Magnetic structure in a colossal magneto-resistive manganite is switched from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic ordering duringabout 100 femtosecond laser pulse photo-excitation. With time so short ...

Representation of domain walls within a ferromagnetic layered material. New research shows that when these materials are hit with a free electron laser, magnetic domain walls move much faster than ...

Ultrashort laser pulses—that are shorter than a millionth of a millionth of a second—have transformed fundamental science, engineering and medicine. Despite this, their ultrashort duration has made ...

University of Colorado Professors Margaret Murnane and Henry Kapteyn have won a prestigious award for groundbreaking strides in laser science. The pair has won the 2010 Arthur L. Schawlow Prize in ...
