Harness the Hubris: Useful Things Physicists Could Do in Biology

V. Adrian Parsegian
OpenURL
Show Topic
We tell ourselves that biologists need physicists and that biological materials present a big opportunity for physics, but then physicists and biologists don't train themselves to work together and learn from each other.

New Light on Quantum Transport

Mark Raizen, Christophe Salomon, and Qian Niu
OpenURL
Show Topic
Atoms moving in an accelerating optical lattice exhibit quantum behavior such as Bloch oscillations, Wannier‐Stark ladders and tunneling—phenomena usually associated with electrons in a crystalline solid.

Electromagnetically Induced Transparency

Stephen E. Harris
OpenURL
Show Topic
One can make opaque resonant transitions transparent to laser radiation, often with most of the atoms remaining in the ground state.
