Prototype molecule chip viewed through vacuum viewport

The crest may or may not be entirely aesthetic. (2021)

Nanocrystals

Anthracene nanocrystals coated in a protective polymer shell

Imaged using a scanning electron microscope. The anthracene is doped with dibenzoterrylene, a promising source of single photons. (2021)

UItracold YbF

A laser-cooled beam of YbF molecules

Suitable for measuring the electron's electric dipole moment. Left: 1D cooling. Right: 2D cooling (2021)

Dual CaF Rb MOT

Dual species atom-molecule MOT

An apparatus for studying collisions between ultracold Rb and CaF. (2021)

The Tweezer Chamber

CaF molecules are transported from the MOT chamber to the Tweezer chamber via rail-mounted magnetic coils. (2022)
