Demonstration of One-Atom Detection
Abstract/Description: | Achievement of the ultimate in analytical sensitivity -- the detection of one atom and its reactions with other matter -- has been reported by scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Examining the experimental setup used in the one-atom detection are (from left): G. Samuel Hurst, Jack P. Young, and Munir Hasan Nayfeh, all members of ORNL's atomic physics and laser research group. |
