Scientists from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology Reveal Ultrafast Melting Dynamics in Matter Heated to Extreme Temperatures

GWANGJU, South Korea, Jan. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Intense laser pulses lasting only femtoseconds (10-15 s) can create extreme states of matter usually found inside planets and stars. Conventional physical models, however, are unable to describe the electron dynamics in such states. Scientists from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in Korea have now explored non-equilibrium dynamics in copper electrons heated to temperatures over 20,000 K, presenting findings that may open new doors for fusion, laser cutting, and nanosurgery.

Ordinary matter behaves very differently when subjected to extreme temperatures and pressures, such as that inside stellar and planetary … Read More → "Scientists from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology Reveal Ultrafast Melting Dynamics in Matter Heated to Extreme Temperatures"
