Optical nanotechnology using electrons.

In 1924,  Louis-Victor Pierre Raymond, pair of France  and Duke of Broglie, astonished his contemporaries in proposing that electrons behave as waves,  when moving along spatial dimensions of a few millionths of a milimeters. These distances, dubbed nanometers, remained technologically unaccessible until some decades ago. Roughly speaking, if the electrons appear as waves under these circumstances,

Carlos Hernández, Young Scientist Prize In Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics 2021

On June 8, the researcher Carlos Hernández García received the Young Scientist Prize In Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics 2021 awarded by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) for his: “…outstanding contributions to the theory and modeling of laser-driven high harmonic generation (HHG), both in high photon energy regimes, and in understanding

PhD Student Position on Theory of Structured Attosecond Pulses

The University of Salamanca (Spain) invites application for a 3,5-year PhD Student position to obtain a PhD degree in Physics, starting in January 2022. 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

EUCYS 2021 – European Union Competition for Young Scientists (September 16 – 19, 2021)

The European Union Competition for Young Scientists, better known as “EUCYS”, awards and celebrates the best young scientific talent in Europe. Every year, the contest brings together promising young scientists from across Europe and beyond to present their projects to an international jury. Although the 32nd edition should have been held in Salamanca in 2020,
