Researchers have revealed the underlying order of chaos by observing very long and intense laser light beams and ionized matter in the so-called “light filaments”. Observed for first time in solids in 1964 and in the air in 1994, the “light filamentation” phenomenon has been recently explained by researchers from the Complex Systems Group (GSC), Madrid. Thanks to the new understanding of the “light filamentation” phenomenon from the approach of complex systems and the chaos theory, new research projects will be boosted to control such “light filaments” and to improve their applications.

One of the goals of the Science of Complexity is to extract patterns of behavior where only disorder is observed, no matter if the object o...
