Ion acceleration driven by superintense laser pulses is attracting an impressive and steadily
increasing effort. Motivations can be found in the applicative potential and in the perspective …

Motivated by the current high interest in the field of warm dense matter research, in this
article we review the uniform electron gas (UEG) at finite temperature and over a broad …

Laser-wakefield accelerators (LWFAs) were proposed more than three decades ago, and
while they promise to deliver compact, high energy particle accelerators, they will also …

The ultrafast laser excitation of matters leads to nonequilibrium states with complex solid-
liquid phase-transition dynamics. We used electron diffraction at mega–electron volt …

Accurate x-ray scattering techniques to measure the physical properties of dense plasmas
have been developed for applications in high energy density physics. This class of …

In megabar shock waves, materials compress and undergo a phase transition to a dense
charged-particle system that is dominated by strong correlations and quantum effects. This …

The current understanding of some important nonlinear collective processes in quantum
plasmas with degenerate electrons is presented. After reviewing the basic properties of …

Dense quantum plasmas are ubiquitous in planetary interiors and in compact astrophysical
objects (eg, the interior of white dwarf stars, in magnetars, etc.), in semiconductors and …

Fog harvesting is considered a promising freshwater collection strategy for overcoming
water scarcity, because of its environmental friendliness and strong sustainability. Typically …

Computer simulations are invaluable tools for scientific discovery. However, accurate
simulations are often slow to execute, which limits their applicability to extensive parameter …
