In this talk I will be discussing 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. In this talk I will focus on what makes cold molecules promising candidates for these applications, and how we are working towards harnessing power this experimentally.
