Raman scattering spectroscopy is a necessary and accurate method to characterize lattice structure and probe electron-photon and electron-phonon interactions. In the quantum realm, electrons at the ground states can be excited ...
A team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin, the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and Western Connecticut State University, has assembled the first draft genome of Phalangium opilio—the ...
Researchers at ETH Zurich have trapped a tiny sphere measuring a hundred nanometres using laser light and slowed down its motion to the lowest quantum mechanical state. This technique could help researchers to study quantum ...
