A team of physicists at Harvard University has succeeded in trapping individual polyatomic molecules in optical tweezer arrays for the first time. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the ...

Laser cooling has emerged as a transformative methodology for controlling the motion of atoms and molecules, utilising the momentum of light to reduce thermal motion at ultra‐low temperatures. This ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have built a generative AI model that ...

Using intense X-rays, researchers captured a buckyball as it expanded, split and shed electrons under strong laser fields. Detailed scattering measurements showed how the molecule behaves at low, ...
