Mechanical Motion Used To 'Spin' Atoms In A Gas Science Daily
For the first time, mechanical motion has been used to make atoms in a gas "spin," scientists at NIST report. The technique might eventually be used in high-performance magnetic sensors, enable power-efficient chip-scale atomic devices such as clocks, or serve as components for manipulating bits of information in quantum computers.
