International Board on the Applications of the Mössbauer Effect

A new Mossbauer paper in Nature by Roehlsberger et al.

Dear Colleagues,

in a paper published in Nature today,

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v482/n7384/full/nature10741.html#/references

Ralf Röhlsberger, Hans-Christian Wille, Kai Schlage and Balaram Sahoo report on the first observation of an electromagnetically induced transparency with resonant nuclei in a cavity. In an experiment performed on a thin-film cavity, The authors have demonstrated that the radiative coupling of the nuclear ensembles by the cavity field establishes the atomic coherence necessary for the cancellation of resonant absorption.

The German portal Spiegel Online also reported on this impressive result:

Congratulation to the authors!
