Ultracold molecules with electric and magnetic moments stick around. Oct 13, 20172017-10-13T15:21:45+0100 Electric and magnetic: trapping the molecules Long-lived, ultracold molecules with both magnetic and electric dipoles have been produced for the first time by researchers in the US. The sodium-lithium molecules have much longer lifetimes than ultracold molecules created previously, allowing the researchers to study them more easily. The system also provides fundamental insights ...
