The reaction kinetics of energetic materials is a key factor in determining the detonation characteristics and safety. The complexity of the reaction process and the lack of experimental means remain ...

The ultrashort pump laser pulse interacts with a 10 nm-thick diamond-like carbon foil (DLC). The interaction region is illuminated with a probe laser pulse with a large optical spectrum, whose various ...

XPP, the X-ray Pump Probe instrument at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), is back online and welcoming researchers ...

The pump-probe laser system provides a three-dimensional view of any part of a painting without taking a chip. Researchers can zoom in and out, like looking at a layer cake, and separate colors to see ...
