(Phys.org)—A team of researchers at Harvard University has successfully cooled a three-atom molecule down to near absolute zero for the first time. In their paper published in Physical Review Letters, ...

A team of researchers at Harvard University, has developed a way to create ultracold polyatomic molecules by trapping and cooling them in three dimensions. In their paper published in the journal ...

Researchers have improved trapping of polyatomic molecules while also controlling their collisions—two important advances for ultracold polyatomic molecular physics. Figure 1: Ultracold particles come ...

After firing the lasers and bombarding the ultracold molecule with light, the scientists gathered around the camera to check the results. By seeing how far the molecule expanded they would know almost ...
