    FIGURE 1. Artist’s rendering of the wakefield process. An ultra-intense, infrared laser pulse (red) drags a three-dimensional plasma wake behind it. Electrons are injected into this wake at the back of the first bubble and get accelerated, following the laser pulse.
    A team of researchers immediately knew something was different about their wakefield laser accelerator when they started shooting at the Texas Petawatt Laser: adding aluminum ...
