There are relatively few experiments in atomic physics these days that don't involve the use of a laser.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The atoms become like a moth, seeking out the region of higher laser intensity.
It was strange, in a way, because there were no ideas involved in the laser that weren't already known by somebody 25 years before lasers were discovered. The ideas were all there; just, nobody put it together.
After a few years of intensive research, we found a way to use a pulsed laser directed into a nozzle to vaporize any material, allowing for the first time the atoms of any element in the periodic table to be produced cold in a supersonic beam.
When I started on my research, I never expected I could invent the LED and laser diode.
It's not very fun to do spectroscopy.
A physicist is just an atom's way of looking at itself.
The only use for an atomic bomb is to keep somebody else from using one.
Laser cooling opened a new route to ultralow temperature physics. Laser cooling experiments, with room temperature vacuum chambers and easy optical access, look very different from cryogenic cells with multi-layer thermal shielding around them.
Experimentation is an active science.
My experiments proved that the radiation of uranium compounds can be measured with precision under determined conditions and that this radiation is an atomic property of the element of uranium.
