A cloud of helium atoms split, scattered and fell under gravity, yet still behaved as if its parts were linked. That is the ...

For the first time, physicists have entangled two atoms while they were in motion and used the result to run one of quantum ...

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the momentum of massive particles. The result, decades ...

Scientists have demonstrated that atoms can exhibit wave-like behavior, challenging long-held assumptions that experiments of this nature were impossible and opening new doors in quantum physics. The ...

Physicists developed a technique to arrange atoms in much closer proximity than previously possible, down to 50 nanometers. The group plans to use the method to manipulate atoms into configurations ...

Scientists have proposed a surprising new way to detect gravitational waves—by observing how they change the light emitted by ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

The manipulation of neutral atoms by light is one of the most important scientific discoveries in the field of quantum physics in the last three decades. Researchers show that increasing the number of ...

Could this “spooky action at a distance” lead us one step closer to the ever-elusive Unified Theory of Everything?
