A joint theoretical study by the University of Innsbruck and Zhejiang University has uncovered the microscopic origin of a ...

Physicists have finally done what once sounded like science fiction: they have read the X-ray “fingerprint” of a single atom, isolating the signal of one of nature’s smallest building blocks from the ...

A ring of 10 to 30 atoms, each inflated to a fragile, oversized state and held in place by laser tweezers, has given ...

UC Santa Barbara researchers are working to move cold atom quantum experiments and applications from the laboratory tabletop to chip-based systems, opening new possibilities for sensing, precision ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...

Professor Daniel Blumenthal's lab develops chip-scale components that can bring the power and precision of quantum science outside of the tightly controlled environment of the lab. (Santa Barbara, ...

Scientists reveal how pairs interact in superconductors and discover an unexpected quantum pattern that challenges current ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Two Physical Review A papers outline how anyons could exist in one dimension, and how cold-atom experiments might spot them.

The agency’s Cold Atom Lab is getting its second major upgrade and will be using it to explore the quantum realm. On Tuesday, Aug. 1, a major hardware update for NASA’s Cold Atom Lab lifted off aboard ...

The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could successfully predict their masses, densities, how they would link up with other ...

Cold atom experiments trap atoms to probe quantum effects, enabling ultra-precise sensing, timekeeping, and monitoring of Earth and space phenomena. (Nanowerk News) Cold atom experiments are among the ...
