Optical trapping is a way of cooling atoms to the point where they are no longer in motion—or are trapped. One may instantly think of optical tweezers when hearing the mention of optical trapping. While ...

Low temperature physics has helped us produce exotic quantum materials such as superconductors. This usually requires cryogenic fluids such as liquid nitrogen and helium for operation. Recently cooling ...

In this blog post we will learn about magneto-optical traps. An important scientific technique that has found quite a few important applications at the forefronts of science and technology. In this post we ...
