Researchers Achieve the Highest Attosecond-Pulse-Train Energy Source

Attosecond pulses are essential tools for time-resolved studies of electron dynamics on their natural time scale: attoseconds (10-18 seconds). Coincidence spectroscopy and experiments with high expectations on statistics or signal-to-noise ratio, particularly in the case of solid and molecular samples in chemistry and biology, are examples of these studies, which are all gaining popularity.

Researchers Use Laser Flashes in Cancer Research

Rapid proton irradiation is a more efficient and minimally invasive treatment for cancer than X-rays. Modern proton treatment, on the other hand, necessitates huge particle accelerators, prompting researchers to look into alternate accelerator technologies such as laser systems to boost protons. In preclinical investigations, such systems are used to pave the path for the most effective radiation therapy.

Tiny Switches Dramatically Increase the Resolution of Chip-Based LIDAR

When Google unveiled its first autonomous cars in 2010, the spinning cylinder mounted on the roofs really stood out. It was the vehicle's light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system, which worked like light-based radar. Together with cameras and radar, LiDAR mapped the environment to help these cars avoid obstacles and drive safely.
