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 ...

Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

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, ...
