Figure 2: Experimental results (below) and movie stills of the theoretical simulation (above). Left: soft inflation of the C60 “football” with only little damage, using a weak laser. Middle: inflating the ball until it explodes by kicking with a stronger laser field. Right: disintegrating ("atomizing") the molecule by removing almost all binding electrons.
