Researchers have uncovered how atoms subtly rearrange themselves for up to a trillionth of a second before releasing ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have demonstrated that quantum entanglement can link atoms across space to improve measurement accuracy. By ...

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 ...

Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces between three or more atoms bind them together, even as they are excited to ...

Scientists now have a new approach to study never-before-seen quantum phenomena. Physicists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have produced the first images of atoms freely interacting in ...

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 ...

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 ...
