Stable packets of light waves — called optical solitons — are emitted in ultrashort-pulse lasers as a chain of light flashes. These solitons often combine into pairs with very short temporal separati… [+2869 chars]
It has been common knowledge that climatic shifts, in particular the transition from the warm and wet Pliocene (5.3-2.6 mya) to the cold and dry Pleistocene (2.6 mya 10 kya), played a key role in the… [+5859 chars]
