The article discusses the study of Ulli Eichman and colleagues of Max Born Institute in Berlin, Germany on the acceleration of neutral atoms using a strong laser pulse. It notes that Eichman and colleagues have used helium atoms in their experiment because of its atomic featherweight that can easily be push around with strong forces, and reveals that it has survived the strong laser. It mentions that its survival was because of the ability of helium's electron to oscillate near its ionic core.

The article focuses on the statistical technique in distinguishing the relation of causes and effects. According to Guido Nolte of the Fraunhofer FIRST Institute in Berlin, Germany, and his colleagues, a statistical technique called Granger causality can cause faulty assign causality. They depict a new method that relies on how phase differences between the driving and dependent variables alter with the ratio of the number of observations in a statistical category to the total number of observations of their variations.
