Magneto-optical traps (MOTs) and cold atom technologies have emerged as pivotal tools in modern atomic physics and quantum engineering. By harnessing the forces produced by laser light in conjunction ...

Pushing experimental boundaries: Aluminum fluoride (AlF) is the first stable “closed shell” molecule ever prepared in a magneto-optical trap and cooled to millikelvin temperatures. The AlF molecular ...

A new study led by Vinod M. Menon and his group at the City College of New York shows that trapping light inside magnetic materials may dramatically enhance their intrinsic properties. Strong optical ...
