A research team at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has successfully used a laser to cool down a semiconductor material known as Cadmium Sulfide. The results of the recently ...

The process of cooling materials to cryogenic temperatures is often expensive and messy. One successful method is laser cooling, where photons interact with the atoms in some way to dampen their ...

Cooling molecules with lasers is harder than cooling individual atoms with lasers. The very process of laser cooling, in which atoms are buffeted by thousands of photons, was thought by many to be ...

In a world where lasers are sci-fi's weapon of choice for melting away an enemy spaceship (sometimes even translating to the real world), researchers at the University of Washington have swum against ...

Using a laser-cooling technique that could one day allow scientists to observe quantum behavior in large objects, MIT researchers have cooled a coin-sized object to within one degree of absolute zero.

Laser cooling has emerged as a transformative methodology for controlling the motion of atoms and molecules, utilising the momentum of light to reduce thermal motion at ultra‐low temperatures. This ...

How can light be used to cool atoms and molecules? How can light be used to cool atoms and molecules? Lasers are known to burn things, fix eyes, and dance on powerpoint presentations. But they can ...

A bit over 25 years ago ago, probably late 1991 or very early 1992, when I was a still a student at Williams, I saw a talk by Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, and was absolutely blown away. He explained the ...

For the first time, scientists have created laser-cooled neutral plasma. The temperatures reached are around 50 times colder than that of deep space, with the plasma reaching -273C. Normally we think ...

While the XR10 is Hisense’s lead Laser TV announcement for CES 2026, it’s also going to be showing the new PX4-PRO. This ...
