Researchers at TU Wien have discovered a quantum system where energy and mass move with perfect efficiency. In an ultracold ...

Researchers have developed a means to realize cold-atom integrated nanophotonic circuits. Researchers at Purdue University have trapped alkali atoms (cesium) on an integrated photonic circuit, which ...

Researchers created a gas that doesn’t experience resistance or diffusion when cooled to freezing, proving it’s possible for ...

Using a clever laser technique, scientists have squished pairs of atoms closer together than ever before, revealing some truly mind-boggling quantum effects. When you purchase through links on our ...

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 ...

Ultracold atoms sit at the heart of the quantum-technology revolution. India has built a strong and steadily growing presence ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, physicists have for the first time observed individual free-range atoms interacting in free space, confirming a quantum mechanical theory proposed over a century ago.

Atoms are normally made of a nucleus and electrons. But scientists are proposing a hunt for a new variety of atom without either. Tauonium (sometimes called “ditauonium” or “true tauonium”) would ...

Whether it was in your shoelaces or earbud cables, we’ve all accidentally tied knots that we can’t untangle – but we don’t expect to win any world records with them. Now scientists have done exactly ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Perhaps you think of X-rays as the strange, lightly radioactive ...

Scientists who have thrown a single atom from one pair of optical tweezers to another say that the feat could be used to build better quantum computers. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...
