in breast milk.

Ideally, the electron gains so much energy
in the laser field that upon impact with the atom, a much shorter flash
of light with very high energy is emitted — an attosecond laser pulse, with a frequency

We know that they are under stress when they are fighting cancer or other diseases, so I wondered whether anything measureable could be seen if we put them under further stress with UVA
light.We found that people with cancer have DNA which is more easily damaged by
ultraviolet light than other people, so the test shows the sensitivity to damage
