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

Giant atoms, artificial atoms larger than the interacting wavelength of light, exhibit decoherence-free behavior, but what ...

Physicists have just upped their ante: Not only have they split atoms but, even trickier, they've put them back together. Their secret? Quantum physics. A team of scientists was able to "split" an ...

For two centuries, students have learned that heat flows and engines work according to rigid limits that no machine can beat.

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

This giant greedy atom can help scientists probe the reaches of ultracold atom physics. The space between an atom's nucleus and electron is usually barren. But, when an electron's orbit sits ...

This calculated diffraction image shows how forked diffraction gratings shape the atoms' wave function into a vortex. (Courtesy: Science/AAAS) A wave-like property previously only seen in beams of ...

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