Exploring the Frontiers of Physics
Research Highlights
- Using Ion Crystals to Simulate Superconductors
When a superconducting material is cooled down below a critical temperature, something seemingly magical happens: its electrical resistivity drops abruptly to zero! Initially, before 1911, this was thought to be impossible, given that…
Read More - Controlling a Quantum Classroom: New Insights into the Spin-Dynamics of Molecules
Quantum gases of interacting molecules can exhibit unique dynamics. JILA and NIST Physicist Jun Ye has spent years of research to reveal, probe, and control these dynamics with potassium-rubidium molecules. In a new article published in…
