Our molecular BEC featured as the NSF Image of the Month

Aug 13, 2026

The image shows the optical setup that we use to cool molecules to temperatures of a few nanokelvin above absolute zero - this recently allowed us to create the first Bose-Einstein condensate of molecules. Many thanks to the National Science Foundation (NSF) for supporting our work and highlighting it! This support is essential to drive forward fundamental and applied research and we are deeply grateful for it.
