Collisions of molecules in a thermal gas are difficult to control. Thermal motion randomizes
molecular encounters and diminishes the effects of external radiation or static …

The goal of the present article is to review the major developments that have led to the
current understanding of molecule–field interactions and experimental methods for …

Ultracold molecules offer unprecedented opportunities for the controlled interrogation of
molecular events, including chemical reactivity in the ultimate quantum regime. The …

This paper presents a review of the current state of the art in the research field of cold and
ultracold molecules. It serves as an introduction to the focus issue ofNew Journal of Physics …

Resonances in ultracold collisions involving heavy molecules are difficult to simulate
theoretically and have proven challenging to detect. Here we report the observation of …

Ultracold LiCs molecules in the absolute ground state X Σ+ 1, v′′= 0, J′′= 0 are formed
via a single photoassociation step starting from laser-cooled atoms. The selective production …

Over the past decade, tremendous progress has been made to extend the tools of laser
cooling and trapping to molecules. Those same tools have recently been applied to …

Compared to purely atomic collisions, ultracold collisions involving molecules have the
potential to support a much larger number of Fano-Feshbach resonances due to the huge …

We describe the formation of fermionic NaLi Feshbach molecules from an ultracold mixture
of bosonic 23 Na and fermionic 6 Li. Precise magnetic field sweeps across a narrow …

We report magnetic confinement of neutral, ground state OH at a density of∼ 3× 10 3 cm-3
and temperature of∼ 30 mK. An adjustable electric field sufficiently large to polarize the OH …
