NASA’s upgraded Cold Atom Lab is turning the International Space Station into a frontier for quantum research, creating ultra ...

More accurate navigation systems and improved wireless communications may not come from traditional electronics, but rather from atoms. Researchers at Penn State and the National Institute of ...

Scientists use laser pulses to manipulate atoms at terahertz frequencies, advancing next-gen computer technology through ...

Until now, atoms have never been imaged interacting freely in space, but a new technique known as non-resolved microscopy has changed that. MIT physicists were able to successfully capture images of ...

A trapped cloud of ultracold atoms, colder than almost anything found in nature, has become the setting for a deceptively ...

Traditionally, scientists have measured gravity’s influence on atoms by tracking how fast atoms tumble down tall chutes. Such experiments can help test Einstein’s theory of gravity and precisely ...

Quantum mechanics boasts all sorts of delightfully odd features. There's the fact that two separated particles can interact instantaneously, a phenomenon called quantum entanglement. (Einstein ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

Scientists have demonstrated that atoms can exhibit wave-like behavior, challenging long-held assumptions that experiments of this nature were impossible and opening new doors in quantum physics. The ...
