Ions are everywhere, from our daily surroundings to the cosmic expanse. As common table salt (NaCl) dissolves into sodium (Na +) and chloride (Cl-) ions in water, it imparts a salty taste. Once ...

A newly-released review article in Engineering explores the potential of multiphoton polymerization (MPP)-based micro/nanomanufacturing in the field of precision medicine. Conducted by a team of ...

For the experiment, an intense femtosecond ultraviolet laser pulse was employed to induce resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization in 1,3-dibromopropane (1,3-DBP) molecules. The picosecond and ...

Focusing short CO 2 laser pulses into air reveals rich ionization physics that is best explained by solid-state theories and results in centimetre-scale-diameter megafilaments that transport joules of ...
