You got yourself complex #molecules to laser cool and want to find the best laser configuration for cooling? Use our #python package MoleCool:
arxiv.org/abs/2510.16203
As a bonus example: how to (or maybe not to) laser cool radioactive radium monofluoride molecules!

New crystal morphologies for #dipolar quantum matter
Dipolar atoms and molecules naturally self-assemble into droplet crystals, but did you know these #droplets can further transition into flawless monolayer crystals when interactions become strong enough?

Two levels are great for qubits, but molecules can take it to the next level—currently 112 of them, to be exact.
We've controlled this complexity to realize laser cooling of previously intractable 137BaF molecules, preparing them for sensitive tests of the Standard Model.

For atoms, laser cooling is frequently used to cool different isotopes, or even collect rare isotopes. In our latest paper, we demonstrate such selective cooling for molecules for the first time!
