Instead of electrons in a solid, the researchers used Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs), ultracold gases in which atoms behave ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

You’ve probably heard this one a few times before: Research suggests that exercise is linked to a longer life. What’s more surprising is that a tiny amount of activity could have a noticeable effect, ...

Physicists have found a way to study the inner workings of Josephson junctions without using electronics at all.

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

Daunted by the concept of 10,000 steps? Not to worry, a new study finds that 7,000 might be enough for a host of important health benefits. From cancer to heart disease, the risk of a host of chronic ...
