The first sighting of atoms flying in formation has been reported by physicists at the Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU-Boulder) in the Aug. 13 issue of Physical Review Letters.* While the Air Force and geese prefer a classic "V," the strontium atoms-choreographed in this experiment with precision laser pulses and ultracold temperatures-were recorded flying in the shape of a cube.
