Thermal Energy Storage Integration with High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors: Optimising Fleet Size, Uranium Utilisation, and Waste Minimisation for the UK

Nuclear power plants are conventionally operated as baseload assets, yet coupling HTGRs with large-scale thermal energy storage (TES) could fundamentally alter this paradigm. Read more

Bose-Einstein Condensate of strontium atoms

We are setting up a new experiment for the realisation of Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) of strontium atoms. In a BEC, one achieves macroscopic filling of atoms in a single quantum state, which manifests itself as a sharp peak in momentum as well as in position space. Read more

Superradiance and subradiance states in an entangled ensemble of Sr atoms in a 3D optical lattice.

Collective response in an ensemble of atoms can lead to the phenomenon of Superradiance and subradiance states. These are quantum effects and can arise due to strong interactions among atoms of the ensemble. Read more
