...involved in atom lithography through standing wave quenching, working with metastable argon. This process involves selectively removing the internal energy of the atoms necessary to pattern the resist layer on top of the silicon prior to etching. It requires much less laser power and allows more flexibility than former experiments...
...meantime, she started working in the labs at MIT as an undergraduate through an exchange program at Wellesley. She continued at MIT for graduate school. There, she carried out the first project to observe channeling in optical standing waves--channeling the path of atoms along the nodes of laser standing waves. Prentiss received her Ph.D. from...
After receiving her Ph.D, Prentiss was hired to work at AT&T Bell Laboratories by Steve Chu, who won the Nobel Prize this year. At Bell Laboratories, she directed the first demonstration of how shining laser light from all directions can confine atoms to the center of a magnetic field, the first Magneto Optical Trap...
PROVIDENCE, R.I.--He was wearing number nine now, not the eight of his high school years, and his jersey was black, not blue and gold. But the laser he threw to Sean Morey on second and 11 was a vintage James Perry pass, and although the crowd chanted Morey's name, I thought of the quarterback instead...
...monitor and operating the joysticks as the vessel approached. Lazutkin would be behind him, peering out a nearby window to call out the spacecraft's coordinates. Foale would be dispatched to the station's most distant module, the Kvant, where the unmanned ship would actually dock. Shining a laser range finder out the stern porthole, he would measure Progress's distance and report it through a headset to Tsibliyev. If everything went well, Foale would be the first to feel the slight bump as the eight-ton, 23-ft. ship barely kissed the far larger...
