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

For the first time, scientists have directly imaged the quantum process underlying superconductivity, a phenomenon in which ...

A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the ...

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

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

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the momentum of massive particles. The result, decades in the making, could help physicists probe the relationship between quantum ...

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

Some of the heaviest atoms in the universe barely exist long enough to be ...

Collisional quantum gates based on fermionic atoms have been realized independently by researchers in Germany and Switzerland ...

Physicists have just upped their ante: Not only have they split atoms but, even trickier, they've put them back together. Their secret? Quantum physics. A team of scientists was able to "split" an ...

This calculated diffraction image shows how forked diffraction gratings shape the atoms' wave function into a vortex. (Courtesy: Science/AAAS) A wave-like property previously only seen in beams of ...

Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. Updated | Scientists have packed an atom full of other atoms to create a new, exotic state of matter called "Rydberg ...
