The article cites a report in a 2011 issue of the journal “Applied Physics Letters” regarding applied physics research by Sutter and colleagues that found graphene improves the reflectivity of helium atoms and hydrogen molecules from the surface of atom mirrors.

The article focuses on the findings which states that air-to-air and air-to-ground communication are generally carried out with radiofrequency transmitters and receivers. The optical-based communication systems offer a number of advantages including higher bandwidth and the capacity to communicate information at higher rates. Nevertheless, it is noted that air turbulence that makes stars scintillate at a detector presents a substantial problem for airborne optical communication. The turbulence would introduce a large amount of error into a communication channel. As an option to the large adaptive-optics approach that uses a reference beam to remove the twinkle from the stars with wavefront engineering, a multiple-transmitter approach using several optical beams can also work.

The article discusses research by Voigt and colleagues demonstrating the formation and trapping of ultracold diatomic heteronuclear molecules. Topics include an overview of the benefits of cooling and trapping atoms such as bosons and fermions to ultracool temperatures, the challenges to forming complex molecules with multiple elements and what it offers, and the materials used by Voigt's team to form and trap the diatomic molecules.

The article discusses a research being done on communication security. It references a study by Yuan et al. published in the journal "Applied Physics Letters." The researchers employ a combined signal and decoy optical pulses sent over a 25-km optic fiber in order to demonstrate unconditionally secure quantum key distribution to a recipient. Results of their study shows that interception by an eavesdropper significantly decreases their transmission rate to the receiver, therefore revealing the existence of an eavesdropper, because the decoy pulses are weaker than the signal pulses.

The article cites a study, published in a 2006 issue of the journal "Applied Physics Letters," which focuses on achieving critical thickness by lithographically patterning the quasi-two-dimensional electron gas (q2-DEG) without causing any damage to the interface region during the process. The q2-DEG is formed at the interface region of two insulators provided the thickness of the upper layer reaches a critical value. LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 have been used as insulators for creating temporary insulating interface. A liftoff technique is used to add a thick patterned amorphous overlayer. Increase in the height of LaAlO3 in the gaps of the amorphous layer above the critical thickness produced a patterned, high-quality metallic q2-DEG.
