Researchers have demonstrated that quantum entanglement can link atoms across space to improve measurement accuracy. By ...

Together with an international team, researchers from the Molecular Physics Department at the Fritz Haber Institute have revealed how atoms rearrange themselves before releasing low-energy electrons ...

The energy state of an atom is denoted by its principal quantum number, designated n, which defines the probability of ...

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 ...

For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...

Using a clever laser technique, scientists have squished pairs of atoms closer together than ever before, revealing some truly mind-boggling quantum effects. When you purchase through links on our ...

Scientists in South Korea have created what they call "the world’s smallest ball game," throwing individual atoms between two optical traps. The research could eventually make for more adaptable and ...

Ultracold atoms sit at the heart of the quantum-technology revolution. India has built a strong and steadily growing presence ...

Atoms forged in stars take a gigantic meandering path before they become incorporated into a future generation of stars and planets, new research reveals. This path is so indirect it takes these atoms ...

Atoms are normally made of a nucleus and electrons. But scientists are proposing a hunt for a new variety of atom without either. Tauonium (sometimes called “ditauonium” or “true tauonium”) would ...

Experts called it the biggest atomic news since the end of World War II. The Atomic Energy Commission revealed last week that it is now considered practical to build a nuclear reactor which will ...
