By directing pulses of laser light at atoms, researchers can study how radioactive elements decay in a matter of seconds. The ...

A ring of 10 to 30 atoms, each inflated to a fragile, oversized state and held in place by laser tweezers, has given ...

An in-situ microscopy technique has allowed chemists to study how gold atoms adsorb on graphene in a range of solvents, ...

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

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the momentum of massive particles. The result, decades ...

Could this “spooky action at a distance” lead us one step closer to the ever-elusive Unified Theory of Everything?

Quantum physicists observed atoms entangled in motion for the first time, using helium atoms with mass and gravity, opening new ways to explore how quantum mechanics interacts with gravity.

Chemistry textbooks explain how reactions start and end, but they rarely show what happens in between. Seeing these hidden moments matters because chemistry is ultimately governed by quantum rules. By ...

Scientists show helium atoms can exist in two places at once, preserving quantum behavior even as they fall under gravity.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Super-hot atoms in space hold the key to an astronomical mystery, and an Ohio State University astronomer is leading an effort to study those atoms here on Earth. Anil Pradhan and his ...

Understanding how a crack grows in metal requires simultaneously calculating the behavior of hundreds of billions of atoms: At the crack tip, where atomic bonds break, and in the surrounding volume of ...
