Trapping of ultracold polar molecules with a Thin Wire Electrostatic Trap
, 2007 We describe the realization of a dc electric-field trap for ultracold polar molecules, the thin-wire electrostatic trap (TWIST). The thin wires that form the electrodes of the TWIST allow us to superimpose the trap onto a magneto-optical trap (MOT).

Ultracold 88Sr2 molecules in the absolute ground state
New Journal of Physics, 2021 We report efficient all-optical creation of an ultracold gas of alkaline-earth-metal dimers, ^88 Sr _2 , in their absolute ground state. Starting with weakly bound singlet molecules formed by narrow-line photoassociation in an optical lattice, followed ...

Skyrmionic Polarization Textures in Structured Dielectric Planar Media
Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 3, 12 February 2026.Topological skyrmionic textures are typically associated with the structure of optical fields. This work demonstrates that they can also emerge from the optical response of structured metasurfaces. Through engineered light–matter interaction, polarization eigenstates acquire nontrivial topology, which can be mapped into the Chern‐insulator physics ...

Stabilization of Ultracold Molecules Using Optimal Control Theory
, 2004 In recent experiments on ultracold matter, molecules have been produced from ultracold atoms by photoassociation, Feshbach resonances, and three-body recombination. The created molecules are translationally cold, but vibrationally highly excited.

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.Superfluid helium nanodroplets enable ultraclean synthesis of metallic clusters and nanowires unattainable by other methods. This review surveys aberration‐corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS)/energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX), and electron tomography to resolve their structure ...

Ultracold giant polyatomic Rydberg molecules: coherent control of molecular orientation
, 2010 We predict the existence of a class of ultracold giant molecules formed from trapped ultracold Rydberg atoms and polar molecules. The interaction which leads to the formation of such molecules is the anisotropic charge-dipole interaction ($a/R^2$).

Ultracold polar molecules near quantum degeneracy [PDF]
Faraday Discussions, 2009 We report the creation and characterization of a near quantum-degenerate gas of polar $^{40}$K-$^{87}$Rb molecules in their absolute rovibrational ground state. Starting from weakly bound heteronuclear KRb Feshbach molecules, we implement precise control of the molecular electronic, vibrational, and rotational degrees of freedom with phase-coherent ...

Dynamics of ultracold polar molecules in a microwave field
New Journal of Physics, 2015 We analyze the temporal evolution of the population of ultracold polar molecules in a microwave (mw) field with a circular polarization. The molecules are in their ground $^{1}\Sigma $ state and treated as rigid rotors with a permanent dipole moment ...

Fast optical transport of ultracold molecules over long distances
New Journal of Physics, 2022 Optically trapped laser-cooled polar molecules hold promise for new science and technology in quantum information and quantum simulation. Large numerical aperture optical access and long trap lifetimes are needed for many studies, but these requirements ...

Scoop That Poop: Optimising Faecal Sample Pre‐Processing for Parasite Metabarcoding
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Molecular techniques such as DNA metabarcoding are increasingly used to characterise parasite communities. However, relatively few studies have examined how sample processing methods influence detection rates. We used faecal samples collected from free‐roaming horses to evaluate how parasite density and pre‐processing methods influenced ...
