Theo Murphy meeting organised by Christian Brahms and John Travers.

Ultrafast laser pulses allow us to watch microscopic processes in real time. A new generation of ultrafast laser light sources promises to answer long-standing fundamental questions in chemistry and materials science. This meeting will bring together researchers from across ultrafast science to discuss current challenges and to push forward the widespread adoption of next-generation ultrafast technologies.
