A study led by Donald Umstadter, the Leland and Dorothy Olson Professor of Physics and Astronomy, was featured on the cover of the journal Nature Photonics. The team's paper confirmed new behavior in light and produced high-energy X-rays by focusing a laser to a brightness 1 billion times greater than the surface of the sun. Co-author Wenchao Yan, postdoctoral researcher in physics and astronomy, designed the cover image.
