Led by researchers from UCLA, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Delaware and MIT, Caltech will participate in the Quantum Sensing and Imaging Lab (Q-SAIL) pilot project that aims to “develop quantum sensors based on two-dimensional trapped-ion arrays.”

Through a combination of extensive laboratory experiments and theoretical work, a team of Caltech scientists has made it possible to build unique gels with dynamic chemical bonds starting from a molecular understanding.

Kerry Vahala, Ted and Ginger Jenkins Professor of Information Science and Technology and Applied Physics, has been awarded 2025 Charles Hard Townes Medal for his pioneering contributions to the development and application of optical microresonators and nonlinear optical oscillators.

The Atwater group has made the first experimental measurements of laser-induced motions of miniature lightsails in the lab.

3D printed materials made up of interlocking ring or cage particles—essentially, three-dimensional chain mail—form a new type of matter, neither granular nor crystalline, that responds to some stresses like a fluid and to others like a solid.
