When laser flashes hit matter, electrons are knocked off their orbits around the atomic nuclei. This can generate extremely ...

A cloud of helium atoms split, scattered and fell under gravity, yet still behaved as if its parts were linked. That is the ...

Physicists in China have simulated the effect of "false vacuum decay": a phenomenon believed to play out constantly in the ...

A breakthrough in quantum computing achieves 99.91% accuracy using 17,000 pairs of atoms, bringing us closer to a new era in ...

Atomic clocks exploit the properties of atoms to create incredibly precise 'ticks.' Nate Phillips, NIST Most clocks, from ...

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

For the first time, physicists have entangled two atoms while they were in motion and used the result to run one of quantum ...

Could this “spooky action at a distance” lead us one step closer to the ever-elusive Unified Theory of Everything?

Quantum physicists observed atoms entangled in motion for the first time, using helium atoms with mass and gravity, opening new ways to explore how quantum mechanics interacts with gravity.

Quantum physicists at the Australian National University (ANU) have achieved a major milestone by directly observing atoms ...
