For the first time, an international team of researchers from Germany, Thailand, India, China and the United States has ...

Scientists brought thousands of rubidium atoms to less than 10 trillionths of a degree above absolute zero Chinese scientists ...

According to quantum electrodynamics, the theory describing interactions between light and electrically charged particles, a ...

A quantum gas microscope reveals Mott insulating behavior and competing magnetic correlations in the first three-component ...

When most of us picture an atom, we think about a small nucleus made of protons and neutrons orbited by one or more electrons. We view these electrons as point-like while rapidly orbiting the nucleus.

Physicists directly observed ultracold atoms in an 'edge state,' flowing along a boundary without resistance. The research could help physicists manipulate electrons to flow without friction in ...

University of Sydney researchers have made a breakthrough by directly observing hydrogen in the tiny spaces between the atoms in metal alloys. The world-first observation of hydrogen dissolving in ...

Atoms touch all the time! But to understand why we first have to decide what we mean by the word “touch.” Our normal conception of touching is grounded in the macroscopic world. I put a cup on the ...
