Radioactive molecules as laboratories of fundamental physics (opens in new tab)

Radioactive molecules provide a new platform in the search for new physics, at energy scales complementary to those probed by high-energy particle colliders. By combining enhancements from nuclear properties with the sensitivity and control offered by molecular structure, experiments with radioactive molecules offer great reach in the search for physics beyond the standard model. Progress in this field is being driven by advances in the production and control of radioactive molecules, alongsi...
