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

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

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 ...

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

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

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

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

A surprising breakthrough in physics could reshape the future of computing by tapping into a strange, previously untapped ...

The Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier for their work looking at electrons in atoms in split-second moments. Hans Ellegren, the ...
