Creating ultracold polyatomic molecules by trapping and cooling them in three dimensions
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 Nature, the group describes ...
Time crystals that persist indefinitely at room temperature could have applications in precision timekeeping
We have all seen crystals, whether a simple grain of salt or sugar, or an elaborate and beautiful amethyst. These crystals are made of atoms or molecules repeating in a symmetrical three-dimensional pattern called a lattice, ...

First observation of high-harmonic generation in robust, refractory metals
The generation of high harmonics from metals opens a link between solid and plasma harmonics. High-harmonic generation (HHG) is the field of creating high-frequency photons from low-frequency lasers. HHG is the cornerstone ...

Superselective colloid-surface binding visualized
Rather than one key and one strong lock, biology often uses tens or hundreds of weaker links to bind parts together, such as cell membranes. This allows for selectivity and also reversibility—the binding can also be undone. ...

Visualizing microscopic 3D displacements over large areas
A team of researchers from PSL University, Harvard University and China University of Petroleum, has developed a way to visualize microscopic 3D displacements of moving objects or events over large areas. In their paper published ...
Biophotonic probes for bio-detection and imaging
Sensitive detection and imaging in bio-microenvironment is highly desired in biophotonic and biomedical applications. However, conventional photonic materials inevitably show incompatibility and invasiveness to bio-systems. ...
