N2 - Based on fundamentally new approaches, ELI's (Extreme Light Infrastructure) scientific program is ambitious, far-reaching, compelling, with the goal to time-resolve the structure of matter from solid to vacuum. We give an overview of the guiding principles underpinning ELI, like the concept of the power-pulse-duration conjecture, relativistic laser-matter interaction and the new ultrarelativistic regime: gateways to the generation of synchronized bursts of high energy particles and radiations in the attosecond and zeptosecond range.
