In recent years, an increasingly large variety of molecular species have been successfully
cooled to low energies, and innovative techniques continue to emerge to reach ever more …

The last few years have seen rapid progress in the application of laser cooling to molecules.
In this review, we examine what kinds of molecules can be laser cooled, how to design a …

Laser cooling and trap**,, and magneto-optical trap** methods in particular, have
enabled groundbreaking advances in science, including Bose–Einstein condensation …

Laser cooling and trap** are central to modern atomic physics. The most used technique
in cold-atom physics is the magneto-optical trap (MOT), which combines laser cooling with a …

Precision searches for time-reversal symmetry violating interactions in polar molecules are
extremely sensitive probes of high energy physics beyond the standard model. To extend …

Ultracold molecules offer unprecedented opportunities for the controlled interrogation of
molecular events, including chemical reactivity in the ultimate quantum regime. The …

We demonstrate one-dimensional sub-Doppler laser cooling of a beam of YbF molecules to
100 μ K. This is a key step towards a measurement of the electron's electric dipole moment …

Doppler and Sisyphus cooling of 174 YbOH are achieved and studied. This polyatomic
molecule has high sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model and represents a new …

We demonstrate slowing and longitudinal cooling of a supersonic beam of CaF molecules
using counterpropagating laser light resonant with a closed rotational and almost-closed …
