New Zealand physicists split and collide ultracold atom clouds
Dunedin, New Zealand (SPX) Apr 03, 2014 - Physicists at New Zealand's University of Otago have pushed the frontiers of quantum technology by developing a steerable 'optical tweezers' unit that uses intense laser beams to precisely split minute clouds of ultracold atoms and to smash them together. The Otago researchers' feat is set to enhance efforts to understand the mysterious ways that atoms interact at temperatures of less than ... more
