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

The tiny atom, the basic building block of everything, is itself almost nothing, but atoms form a crossroads where science ...

For the first time, researchers have played matchmaker between two specific atoms, joining them together to form a molecule. Typically, chemists make molecules by mixing up many constituent atoms, ...

In a short talk at Caltech, physicist Richard Feynman laid out a vision of manipulating and controlling atoms at the tiniest ...

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 ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. In some of the most extreme physical conditions, physicists have ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The Earth’s crust is cracked into seven major tectonic plates ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

Physicists set a new record by linking together a hot soup of 15 trillion atoms in a bizarre phenomenon called quantum entanglement. The finding could be a major breakthrough for creating more ...

There’s nothing like a game of catch — tossing a baseball back and forth promises some old-fashioned, low-effort fun. But it’s a difficult endeavor when it involves frosty atoms and lasers. This new ...

A team of physicists just managed to entangle a record-breaking 15 trillion atoms. The unusual feat is a first for quantum science, Live Science reports, especially because the scientists decided to ...
