    1. Researchers in Germany demonstrated single-shot intensity autocorrelation measurements and pump-probe spectroscopy in the vacuum ultraviolet region using an ultrashort fifth-harmonic pulse of a Ti:sapphire laser at a wavelength of 162 nm. 2. They captured an autocorrelation trace that allowed determining the pulse duration to be 18.4 ± 1 fs. A proof-of-principle pump-probe experiment also studied the dissociation dynamics of O2. 3. Other research highlights included theoretically demonstrating true needle-like radiation from currents driven on a spherical surface, developing a mode-tunable coherent single-photon subtractor, and making a highly sensitive wavelength detector with subpicometre resolution using
