A new groundbreaking technique developed for creating a gas of ultracold polar molecules.
Researchers at JILA, a joint institute of the University of Colorado at Boulder and NIST developed a new technique for creating a gas of ultracold polar molecules.
The molecules are a fraction of a degree above absolute zero (-273.150 C)
The team used magnetic fields and precision lasers to create ultracold molecules out of potassium and rubidium atoms. These molecules fashion a very unique quality: They carry a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other. This technique could lead to countless applications including quantum computers, super-efficient power plants and even molecular clocks.

    Great point and very interesting food for thought. I’m not sure I have any clients I can replicate this with, but will bear in mind for the future. Regards
