A special type of laser spectroscopy has been used by researchers in Australia to measure the velocities of atoms in caesium vapour. The technique could allow researchers to infer both the temperature ...

Initially regarded as a scientific curiosity upon its discovery in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, superconductivity has provided physicists with numerous theoretical challenges and experimental ...
