Some of the most important quantum effects powering today’s technology happen on scales that ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, scientists have filmed atoms performing an eternal quantum dance that never ...

Researchers at the University of Warsaw have unveiled a breakthrough method for detecting and precisely calibrating terahertz ...

The microscopic processes taking place in superconductors are difficult to observe directly. Researchers at the RPTU ...

A subtle timing flash may expose the Unruh effect. The approach ties ordinary lab tools to deep quantum physics. Researchers ...

Physicists have just upped their ante: Not only have they split atoms but, even trickier, they've put them back together. Their secret? Quantum physics. A team of scientists was able to "split" an ...

This calculated diffraction image shows how forked diffraction gratings shape the atoms' wave function into a vortex. (Courtesy: Science/AAAS) A wave-like property previously only seen in beams of ...

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon that’s as bizarre as it is fragile. Entangled particles are thought to lose this inexplicable link when exposed to outside factors. But now, physicists have ...

This giant greedy atom can help scientists probe the reaches of ultracold atom physics. The space between an atom's nucleus and electron is usually barren. But, when an electron's orbit sits ...
