Deborah Jin and the Fermionic Condensate
Deborah Jin is a respected American physicist who studies within polar molecular quantum chemistry in order to use lasers to make atoms cold. She has been involved in some of the earliest studies of the Bose-Einstein condensates which was led by Dr. Lene Hau. Dr. Jin is currently a NIST fellow at JILA while also […]
Weekly Wrap Up (May 6, 2016)
Could lasers be used to help treat Parkinson’s disease? According to researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Japan and University of Otago, New Zealand, the disease may be able to be treated by “encapsulating dopamine within liposomes that can be released using a femtosecond (FS) laser.” The researchers believe that the findings may […]
