However, this same complexity has made it difficult to cool molecules to the ultracold regime. Now, Kang-Kuen Ni and co-workers 1 have created a gas of diatomic molecules that is ultracold in all ...
Highly excited vibrational states of polyatomic molecules are prepared and studied by combining laser spectroscopy, molecular beam techniques and high resolution dispersed fluorescence spectroscopy.
Matthieu Viteau and colleagues from the Université Paris-Sud in France have now shown how it is possible to use lasers to cool molecules without making them vibrate too much. So far, a successful ...
Earlier this week we broke down the complexities of mixed-phase precipitation forecasting.Within that we briefly touched on a key component to that complexity w ...
