Carlos Hernández García awarded the Internationl Commission of Optics (ICO) 2023 award

Carlos Hernández García, member of the ALF – USAL group and principal investigator of the Attostructura project, has been awarded in the latest edition of the International Commission of Optics (ICO) 2023 Award in recognition of (textual quote) “for seminal contributions in the theory and modeling of laser- driven high harmonic generation and understanding how

OP Session – New regimes in ultrafast and strong field science

Carlos Trallero from the University of Connecticut will give the seminar titled “New regimes in ultrafast and strong field science” on November 3 at 10:00. The seminar will take place in classroom D1 of the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Salamanca.

Creation of the unit of excellence LUMES

Last June, the Unit of Excellence in Structured Light and Matter (LUMES) was created. The creation of the Unit of Excellence in Structured Light and Matter represents a step forward in the consolidation of the University of Salamanca as an international reference in the understanding and application of the interactions between light and matter on

Controlling light with intelligence

Thanks to a process called “high-order harmonic generation” significant progress has been made in generating ultrashort X-ray pulses over the past few years, with a duration of a few attoseconds (equivalent to dividing a second into 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 parts). This extremely short duration is comparable to the time it takes for electrons to transfer between atoms,

Margaret Murnane and Antonio Colinas new Doctors Honoris Causa from USAL

The Irish physicist Margaret Murnane and the Leonese poet Antonio Colinas were invested as honorary doctors from the University of Salamanca on June 19. The investiture ceremony was presided over by the rector, Ricardo Rivero, and held in the Auditorium of the Escuelas Mayores. The ceremony held in Latin, in which professors Carlos Hernández García

Seminar: Attosecond Quantum Technologies for Advanced Materials Metrologies (Henry Kapteyn)

Next June 19 at 09:00 in classroom III of the Trilingual building, Henry Kapteyn from JILA from University of Colorado Boulder will give the seminar: Attosecond Quantum Technologies for Advanced Materials Metrologies Next-generation nano and quantum devices have increasingly complex 3D structure. As their dimensions shrink, their performance is often governed by interface quality or precise chemical, interfacial or dopant

OP Session – Detection of new chiral phenomena in nanomaterials

José Caridad from the Department of Applied Physics of the University of Salamanca and principal investigator of the CHIROTRONICS project (ERC Starting Grant 101039754), will give the seminar entitled “Detection of new chiral phenomena in nanomaterials” on June 9 at 09:00. The seminar will take place in room VII of the Trilingual Building at the

The V Photography Contest “Dia de la Luz” list of winners has been published.

On the occasion of the celebration on May 16 of the International Day of Light, the list of winners of the V “Day of Light” Photographic Contest organized by the Master’s Degree in Physics and Technology of Lasers (USAL – UVA) has been published. Attostructura collaborates in the organization of the contest and is part

Post-Doc Position on Theory of Structured Attosecond Pulses Applied to Ultrafast Magnetism 

The University of Salamanca (Spain) invites application for a 2-year Postdoc position starting in September 2023. The position is part of the project ATTOSTRUCTURA, “Structured attosecond pulses for ultrafast nanoscience”, funded by the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (grant agreement No. 851201), supervised by Dr. Carlos Hernández-García,
