Plasma, ionized gas and the fourth state of matter, makes up over 99% of the ordinary matter in the universe. Understanding its properties is critical for developing fusion energy sources, modeling ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking technique called RAVEN that can capture the full complexity of an ultra-intense laser pulse in a single shot—something previously thought nearly impossible.

Physicists at the University of Oxford have unveiled a “pioneering” method for capturing the full structure of ultra-intense laser pulses in a single measurement. The breakthrough, a collaboration ...
