Travis is giving an invited talk tomorrow at the 2022 Atomtronics meeting in Benasque, Spain. The topic will be indium laser cooling. If you are at the meeting, come check it out!

Our new preprint “Magneto-optical trap of a Group III atom” is now on the arXiv. In this work, we demonstrate the first magneto-optical trap of a triel element, which is an atom from main group III of the Periodic Table. We are excited about this result because triels have tremendous potential for ultracold research. Check out our paper here.

Our paper on the indium Zeeman slower comes out today. This is the first demonstration of Zeeman slowing for an atom in the Periodic Table’s main group III. Check it out here!
