Researchers at TU Wien have discovered a quantum system where energy and mass move with perfect efficiency. In an ultracold ...

When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and ...

The tiny atom, the basic building block of everything, is itself almost nothing, but atoms form a crossroads where science ...

Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was ...

For the first time, scientists have observed the iconic Shapiro steps, a staircase-like quantum effect, in ultracold atoms.

In a short talk at Caltech, physicist Richard Feynman laid out a vision of manipulating and controlling atoms at the tiniest ...

Scientists reveal how two unstable nuclei trigger neutron star explosions and power intense X-ray bursts across the universe.

For a long time, the Greenwald limit was accepted as a given and incorporated into fusion reactor engineering. The new work shows that precise control over how the plasma is created and interacts with ...

Persistent pharmaceutical residues such as carbamazepine are increasingly detected in natural waters, posing long-term ecological and human health risks due to their resistance to conventional ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.
