Excited to share our new paper in @PNASNews doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2415027…! Ice cubes often appear cloudy because, as water freezes, air bubbles get trapped and scatter light. But how does freezing rate affect the shape of the bubbles? @UMDResearch @UCSBengineering @PMMH_lab @poftwente

While conventional lab-scale laser technology is currently confined to bulky, costly tabletop systems, the team in @ucsbece professor Daniel Blumenthal’s lab is working to recreate the performance of these lasers on lightweight devices that can fit in the palm of your hand.

“These smaller lasers will enable scalable solutions for actual quantum systems, as well as lasers for portable, field-deployable and space-based quantum sensors,” said Andrei Isichenko, a graduate student researcher in Blumenthal’s lab.
