Journal ArticleDOI
Trapping of neutral sodium atoms with radiation pressure
TL;DR: The confinement and cooling of an optically dense cloud of neutral sodium atoms by radiation pressure was reported, provided by three retroreflected laser beams propagating along orthogonal axes, with a weak magnetic field used to distinguish between the beams.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex Optical Surfaces Formed by Replica Molding Against Elastomeric Masters
TL;DR: The versatility of this procedure for fabricating surfaces with complex, micrometer- and submicrometers-scale patterns was demonstrated by the production of diffraction gratings with periods smaller than the original grating.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying Colorimetric Assays in Paper-Based Microfluidic Devices by Measuring the Transmission of Light through Paper
Audrey K. Ellerbee,Scott T. Phillips,Adam C. Siegel,Katherine A. Mirica,Andres W. Martinez,Pierre Striehl,Nina Jain,Mara Prentiss,George M. Whitesides +8 more
TL;DR: Measuring transmittance through paper represents a new method of quantitative detection that expands the potential functionality of micro-PADs and is potentially attractive for use in resource-limited environments and developing countries.

TL;DR: In this article, an elastomeric stamp is deformed during and/or prior to using the stamp to print a self-assembled molecular monolayer on a surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atom Michelson Interferometer on a Chip Using a Bose-Einstein Condensate
Ying-Ju Wang,Dana Z. Anderson,Victor M. Bright,Eric A. Cornell,Quentin Diot,Tetsuo Kishimoto,Mara Prentiss,R.A. Saravanan,Stephen R. Segal,Saijun Wu +9 more
TL;DR: An atom Michelson interferometer is implemented on an "atom chip" that uses lithographically patterned conductors and external magnetic fields to produce and guide a Bose-Einstein condensate.
