A Record Density for Laser-Cooled Molecules
A novel laser cooling and trapping technique squeezes large numbers of molecules into a confined space while keeping them ultracold. Read more in APS Physics…
A Salt-Based Laser Color Converter
Artificial salts that are liquid at room temperature can be used to efficiently tune the wavelength of a laser source. Continue reading
Interaction Detection with Attosecond Perfection
Mina Bionta explores how light interacts with matter by capturing snapshots of those interactions on the timescale of the light’s oscillations. Continue reading
Strobing Light Shapes Atomic Array
An optical tweezer with a stroboscopic twist can trap cold atoms in lattices
of all shapes. Continue reading
New Cavity Design Soaks Up More Rays
When placed in a lens-and-mirror trap, a weakly absorbing material can capture light from nearly all directions. Continue reading
Twinkle, Twinkle, Star No More
New forecasting approaches could help users of ground-based telescopes predict when the atmosphere will most blur incoming light, allowing them to better remove the effect. Continue reading
A Tiny Photonic Nose Captures Odor Fingerprints
A bio-inspired detector the size of a US penny can identify the unique odor profiles of different gases, something that could help in detecting food freshness and product counterfeits and in designing new cosmetics. Continue reading
