The absorption of electromagnetic energy by a material is a phenomenon that underlies many applications, including molecular sensing, photocurrent generation and photodetection. Typically, the ...

Several current and planned lightsources are powered by linear accelerators, such as SLAC National Accelerator Lab's X-ray lightsource, known as the LCLS, and Jefferson Lab's Free-Electron Laser. I ...

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...
