A team of researchers at the University of Bonn has used periodic shaking to control the motion of atom pairs in an optical lattice. By applying a method called Floquet engineering, they enhanced the tunneling of fermion pairs while largely suppressing the single-particle motion. Remarkably, the paired atoms moved even faster than in systems without shaking. The findings have been published in Physical Review Letters: Phys. Rev. Lett. 133, 253402
