Scientists have come a step closer to understanding how collisionless shock waves—found throughout the universe—are able to accelerate particles to extreme speeds. The research, published in Nature ...

Schematics of the all-optical nonlinear Compton scattering experiment showing laser-driven electron acceleration, electron-laser collision, and Compton scattering to produce gamma rays. In a ...

Jupiter’s magnetosphere is the largest and most dynamic in the Solar System, a vast region where the planet’s powerful magnetic field governs the behaviour of charged particles. This envelope not only ...

Researchers demonstrate a previously unknown effect of electron acceleration in ultrashort laser pulses. (Nanowerk News) Scientists from the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) and ...
