Since the discovery of electron-wave duality, electron scattering instrumentation has
developed into a powerful array of techniques for revealing the atomic structure of matter …

The present status and development of strong-field nano-optics, an emerging field of
nonlinear optics, is discussed. A nonperturbative regime of light-matter interactions is …

The ability of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to image a structure ranging from
millimetres to Ångströms has made it an indispensable component of the toolkit of modern …

Integrated photonics facilitates extensive control over fundamental light–matter interactions
in manifold quantum systems including atoms, trapped ions,, quantum dots and defect …

While correlated electrons are at the heart of many phenomena in condensed matter, as well
as atomic and molecular physics, Coulomb interactions in free-electron beams are generally …

Following optical excitations' life span from creation to decay into photons is crucial in
understanding materials photophysics. Macroscopically, this is studied using optical …

Attosecond science is based on electron dynamics driven by a strong optical electric field
and has evolved beyond its original scope in gas-phase atomic and molecular physics to …

The tunability of materials properties by light promises a wealth of future applications in
energy conversion and information technology. Strongly correlated materials such as …

We demonstrate the quantized transfer of photon energy and transverse momentum to a
high-coherence electron beam. In an ultrafast transmission electron microscope, a three …

We report the design and performance of a time-resolved electron diffraction apparatus
capable of producing intense bunches with simultaneously single digit micrometer probe …
