Recently, femtosecond laser techniques have been developed that are capable of bringing gas molecules to extremely fast rotation in a very short time, while keeping their translational motion ...

This paper seeks to identify the factors which have the greatest effect on gas diffusion rates into animal burrows, and in turn on the maximum size of burrowing animals which may rely on simple burrow ...

The first stable quantum gas of molecules with large electric dipole moments has been made by physicists in the US. Unlike other quantum gases, the molecules interact with each other over relatively ...

Researchers have made a long-lived, record-cold gas of molecules that follow the wave patterns of quantum mechanics instead of the strictly particle nature of ordinary classical physics. The creation ...

Most gases are extremely difficult to detect because they are odorless. Certain gases are extremely harmful to humans if inhaled. Owing to the above, researchers have developed many potent techniques ...

Scientists at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Colorado at Boulder, have applied their expertise in ultracold atoms and lasers to ...
