This field encompasses advanced techniques that utilise laser light to selectively ionise heavy atoms, including actinides and super-heavy elements, thereby facilitating the investigation of their ...

Laser ion acceleration uses intense laser flashes to heat electrons of a solid to enormous temperatures and propel these charged particles to extreme speeds. These have recently gained traction for ...

Laser-driven ion acceleration is considered to be a route to develop a compact and efficient plasma-based accelerator, applicable to such diverse fields as cancer therapy, nuclear fusion, and high ...

Recently, the work was completed by the group of Prof. Sheng Meng from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Beijing National Research Center for Condensed Matter Physics. By ...

In an ongoing effort to bring quantum science out of the tightly controlled lab environment and into the field, researchers from UC Santa Barbara and the University of Massachusetts Amherst have, for ...

A research team has developed a large-area suspended graphene and irradiated the thinnest graphene target with an ultra-intense laser to realize high-energy ion acceleration. Their findings will be ...
