Ionization is crucial in strong field physics and attosecond science, where it describes how electrons escape from their atomic bonds. Traditionally, it was understood that this process could not be ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers propose a scheme to identify and weigh the quantum orbits in strong-field tunneling ionization. Electron motion in atoms and molecules is of fundamental importance to many physical, ...
