Researchers have uncovered how atoms subtly rearrange themselves for up to a trillionth of a second before releasing ...
Researchers have demonstrated that quantum entanglement can link atoms across space to improve measurement accuracy. By splitting an entangled group of atoms into separate clouds, they were able to ...
Physicists have coaxed clusters of thousands of atoms into a delicate quantum limbo, creating a record breaking version of ...
The 20th century was marked by the discovery of exotic states of matter. First, liquid helium was observed to flow without friction at extremely low temperatures, a phase now known as superfluid. Soon ...
Researchers at TU Wien have discovered a quantum system where energy and mass move with perfect efficiency. In an ultracold gas of atoms confined to a single line, countless collisions occur—but ...
Scientists propose a hunt for tauonium, a hypothetical variety of atom that would consist of a tau lepton and its antimatter counterpart, an antitau, Emily Conover reported in “Tauonium” (SN: 6/29/24, ...
Scientists in South Korea have created what they call "the world’s smallest ball game," throwing individual atoms between two optical traps. The research could eventually make for more adaptable and ...
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 ...
