Super-powerful light beams and the butterfly effect
Researchers at UPM have revealed the underlying order of chaos by observing very long and intense laser light beams and ionized matter in so-called "light filaments".

In nature, as in everyday life, we are surrounded by resonance—the phenomenon that describes how each object has a frequency that it prefers to vibrate at. The note of a guitar string and the sound of Big Ben chiming are ...
