Cold atoms used to create reliable pressure gauge for ultrahigh vacuum
05 Sep 2023
Cool idea: NIST’s Daniel Barker, Steve Eckel, Jim Fedchak, Julia Scherschligt and colleagues have developed and tested a technique that uses cold atoms to measure ultralow pressures. (Courtesy: NIST)
An effect that normally gets in the way of the magnetic trapping of atoms has been harnessed to crea
