Electrons determine everything: how chemical reactions unfold, how materials conduct electricity, how biological molecules transfer energy, and how quantum technologies operate. But electron dynamics ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way to control magnets using flashes of light lasting less than a trillionth of a second. The approach triggers unusually large magnetic motion without direct contact ...

An international team of researchers led by Lancaster University has discovered a highly efficient mechanism for shaking magnets using very short light pulses, shorter than a trillionth of a second.

The mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is just weeks away from reaching its closest point to Earth: it’s expected to pass within just 170 million miles of our home planet on December 19, giving ...

The image captures the generation of attosecond pulses, in which ultrashort (few-cycle) laser pulses interact with a neon gas jet. This interaction initiates high-harmonic generation, yielding the ...

A writer returns to his native Australian island, where seeing the aurora takes more work than in the north, home of mass-market lights tourism. But the awe is the same. Aurora tourism in the Southern ...
