Ultra-Short Laser Pulses Transform the Properties of Quartz Glass

Quartz glass, irradiated by a laser pulse, becomes a metal for a very short span of time (femtoseconds) and returns to its original state immediately afterwards. This phenomenon has now been explained by Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) scientists in partnership with Tsukuba University researchers with the help of large-scale computer simulations.
