Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...

For the first time, physicists have watched a beam of positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter ...

First experimental observation of matter-wave diffraction in a short-lived electronpositron atom using a graphene-based ...

“Positronium is the simplest atom composed of equal-mass constituents, and until it self-annihilates, it behaves as a neutral ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...

A new lens-free imaging system uses software to see finer details from farther away than optical systems ever could before.

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

Water doesn’t behave the same way in a glass as it does as ice in your freezer. When water is heated to several thousand ...
