Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy plays a crucial role in our understanding of cell
structure and function by reporting cellular ultrastructure with 20–30 nm resolution. However, …

The production of intense x-ray and particle sources is one of the most remarkable aspects
of high energy laser interaction with a solid target. Wide application of these laser-driven …

The first demonstration of laser action in ruby was made in 1960 by TH Maiman of Hughes
Research Laboratories, USA. Many laboratories worldwide began the search for lasers using …

Additive manufacturing (AM), more commonly known as 3D printing, is a commercially
established technology for rapid prototyping and fabrication of bespoke intricate parts. To date, …

We report on the design and first results from experiments looking at the formation of radiative
shocks on the Shenguang-II (SG-II) laser at the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine …

A novel approach to ICF called shock ignition, that relies on delivery of a very strong shock
created by a laser pulse at intensities around 1016 Wcm− 2, is investigated. In this context, an …

Relativistically intense laser light interacting with solid density targets can accelerate protons
to multi-MeV energies via the target normal sheath acceleration process. The use of hollow …

Laser-produced plasmas are bright, short sources of x-rays commonly used for time-resolved
imaging and spectroscopy. Their usage implies accurate knowledge of laser-to-x-ray …
