Discover the scientific limits of low temperatures, including absolute zero and why reaching it remains impossible under ...

Well today, we’re cranking that down a notch. Today, you’re heading into absolute zero territory. Is absolute zero really ...

The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets ...

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

Step inside the strange world of a superfluid, a liquid that can flow endlessly without friction, defying the common-sense ...

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily ...

Superconductors promise loss-free electricity, but most only work at extreme cold. Hydrogen-rich materials changed that—yet their inner workings remained hidden because they only exist under enormous ...

In physics, breakthroughs are rare. Experiments are slow, expensive and often end up refining, rather than rewriting, our understanding of the universe. But what if the only constraint on scientific ...

AI was stuck in a "pre-hype purgatory" until ChatGPT launched. Ian says quantum might be about to experience a similar ...

Diamonds are no longer just prized for their brilliance. In cutting-edge physics labs, synthetic diamonds with carefully ...
