Ultrahigh dose-rate radiotherapy (RT), or'FLASH'therapy, has gained significant momentum
following various in vivo studies published since 2014 which have demonstrated a reduction …

Over the last 60 years, soil microbiologists have accumulated a wealth of experimental data
showing that the bulk, macroscopic parameters (eg, granulometry, pH, soil organic matter …

Acceleration and manipulation of electron bunches underlie most electron and X-ray
devices used for ultrafast imaging and spectroscopy. New terahertz-driven concepts offer …

A review is presented of recent works on optical unipolar pulses, whose electric area
(integral of the electric field strength over time) is nonzero, which determines the …

The field of laser-matter interaction traditionally deals with the response of atoms, molecules,
and plasmas to an external light wave. However, the recent sustained technological …

Intense lasers enable generating high-energy particle beams in university-scale
laboratories. With the direct laser acceleration (DLA) method, the leading part of the laser …

Relativistic interaction of short-pulse lasers with underdense plasmas has recently led to the
emergence of a novel generation of femtosecond x-ray sources. Based on radiation from …

With intensities 108–1010 times greater than other laboratory sources, X-ray free-electron
lasers are currently opening up new frontiers across many areas of science. In this Review …

The controlled coupling of a laser to plasma has the potential to address grand scientific
challenges,,,,–, but many applications have limited flexibility and poor control over the laser …

Laser-driven plasma accelerators provide acceleration gradients that are three orders of
magnitude greater than those generated by conventional accelerators, offering the potential …
