Add to Other Calendars (iCal file format)Randy Hulet of Rice University's Department of Phsyics & Astronomy investigates atoms at temperatures as low as a few nano-Kelvin. At such low temperatures, the strange and fascinating effects of quantum mechanics dominate and greatly alter normal atomic behavior. Hulet and his group have used laser cooling and atom trapping techniques to explore this exotic regime of matter, investigating ultracold atom collisions, Bose-Einstein condensation and pairing of atomic Fermi gases.
At this informal science lecture, Hulet will chat about his work in a language everyone can understand.
