Interatomic or intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD) is a nonlocal electronic decay
mechanism occurring in weakly bound matter. In an ICD process, energy released by …

Resonance energy transfer (RET), the transport of electronic energy from one atom or
molecule to another, has significant importance to a number of diverse areas of science …

Biomolecular radiation damage is largely mediated by radicals and low-energy electrons
formed by water ionization rather than by direct ionization of biomolecules. It was speculated …

Intense ultrashort light pulses comprising merely a few wave cycles became routinely
available by the turn of the millennium. The technologies underlying their production and …

Over 99% of the observable universe is made of plasma. About 71% of the planet we live on
is covered by liquid. Yet, the interaction between both states of matter does not occur so …

Many experimental and theoretical advances have recently allowed the study of direct and
indirect effects of low-energy electrons (LEEs) on DNA damage. In an effort to explain how …

As compared to the intuitive process that the electron emits straight to the continuum from its
parent ion, there is an alternative route that the electron may transfer to and be trapped by a …

Since 2001 and the first demonstrations of the feasibility of generating and measuring
attosecond light pulses, attosecond science has developed into a very active and quickly …

This review is focused on free-electron lasers (FELs) in the hard to soft x-ray regime. The
aim is to provide newcomers to the area with insights into: the basic physics of FELs, the …

At the transition from the gas to the liquid phase of water, a wealth of new phenomena
emerge, which are absent for isolated H2O molecules. Many of those are important for the …
