UCL team develops laser accelerator for neutral particles
Precise control of the motion of atoms and molecules is extremely
difficult, yet important for a large spectrum of scientific and industrial
processes. Applications range from surface growth and deposition, to elucidating
the details of chemical reactions through controlled collisions.
