Light interacting with hydrogen atoms enclosed in hollow cages composed of carbon atoms produces ionization. This phenomenon is particularly interesting because the light rays can have dramatic ...

A paper by Kazan Federal University and Tatarstan Academy of Sciences saw light in Physics Letters A. Ionization energy is one of the most important physicochemical parameters. It is defined in terms ...

Researchers can now remove 36 electrons from a xenon atom using a pulse of high-energy photons from a free-electron laser. Nature Photonics spoke with Daniel Rolles to learn about the process and why ...

A team of researchers from the University of Ottawa has made significant strides in understanding the ionization of atoms and molecules, a fundamental process in physics that has implications for ...

An international team of researchers has observed the quantum mechanical tunnelling effect for the first time. We have to climb a mountain in order to conquer it. In quantum physics there is a ...

A project involving Berlin's Max Born Institute, University College London and ELI-ALPS in Hungary has demonstrated a spectroscopy technique employing attosecond laser bursts as both pump and probe ...

Physicists have taken another step forward in exploiting light’s vast unused potential as an information carrier. Researchers in Germany have calculated how “twisted” light beams can influence ...

Ionization energy is one of the most important physicochemical parameters. It is defined in terms of the amount of energy required to rip an electron from an atom. The dependence of the ionization ...
