Solar energy output of India is reduced significantly by air pollution

Physics World

That is the conclusion of researchers who have modelled the effects of particulate pollution on solar irradiance in 2001–2018. In their latest research, Dey, Ganguly and colleagues modelled how atmospheric attenuation and soiling affected India’s solar-energy output in 2001–2018. Satellite data.

Continuous Bose–Einstein condensate opens the door to continuous-wave atom lasers

Physics World

BECs were first made in 1995 and their creators were rewarded with the 2001 Nobel Prize for Physics. Now the technology is just more mature, and strontium is just nice because it has this narrow linewidth cooling transition, which made it easier for us.”. They made great progress, but they weren’t able to push it all the way through.
