The articles in the “Atomic and molecular physics for controlled fusion and astrophysics” special issue cover a wide range of topics in atomic and molecular physics in the context of hot plasmas. Basic atomic processes are of fundamental importance in con
A novel resonant fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based acoustic emission (AE) sensor with relocatable, strain-insensitive and enhanced sensitivity structure is demonstrated for structure health monitoring (SHM) in this paper. With one end of the sensing FBG bon
