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 ...

We study ultrafast ionization dynamics using orthogonally polarized two-color (OTC) laser pulses involving the resonant “first plus second” (ω + 2ω) scheme. The scheme is illustrated by numerical ...

Scientists have discovered an indicator of when re-ionization of the primordial Universe began. The team used the Faint Object Camera and Spectrograph (FOCAS) mounted on the Subaru Telescope to ...

Free electron lasers (FELs) offer the unprecedented capability to study reaction dynamics and image the structure of complex systems. When multiple photons are absorbed in complex systems, a ...

Researchers have achieved real-time capture of the ionization process and subsequent structural changes in gas-phase molecules through an enhanced mega-electronvolt ultrafast electron diffraction (MeV ...

Six critical steps are involved in the manufacturing of semiconductors. These steps include deposition, photoresist, lithography, etch, ionization and packaging. This article discusses several ...

ass spectrometry (MS) has evolved into one of the most sensitive analytical methods for the structural characterization of molecules. 1,2 Ionization is critical for volatilizing sample analytes into a ...

Scientists have conducted laboratory experiments at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) that provide new insights on the complex process of pressure-driven ionization in giant planets and ...
