Origin of Adhesion in Humid Air

Author(s)
Doo-In Kim, Jaroslaw Grobelny, Pradeep N. Namboodiri, Robert F. Cook
The origin of adhesion at nanoscale contacts in humid air is investigated by pull-off force measurements using atomic force microscopes in controlled...

Atoms in a Radio-Frequency-Dressed Optical Lattice

Author(s)
Ian B. Spielman, James V. Porto, William D. Phillips, Ben Brown, Patricia Lee, Nathan Lundblad
We load cold atoms into an optical lattice dramatically reshaped by radio-frequency coupling of statedependent lattice potentials. This radio-frequency dressing...

Shear Thinning Near the Critical Point of Xenon

Author(s)
Robert F. Berg, Michael R. Moldover, M Yao, G A. Zimmerli
