Abstract
In this talk, I will discuss a new ultracold molecules experiment that I'm setting up at Durham University. Ultracold molecules offer possibilities for a range of applications, from controlled chemistry and testing beyond standard model physics to quantum simulation. I will focus on what makes cold molecules promising candidates for these applications and how we are working towards harnessing power this experimentally.
