A team of physicists at Harvard University has succeeded in trapping individual polyatomic molecules in optical tweezer ...

Proximity is key for many quantum phenomena, as interactions between atoms are stronger when the particles are close. In many ...

By tinkering with a quantum material characterized by atoms arranged in the shape of a sheriff's star, MIT physicists and ...

Mathematically speaking, social networks look like groups of nodes (representing people) connected by lines or edges (representing the relationships between them). If two people have an unfriendly or ...

Quantum sensors detect the smallest of environmental changes—for example, an atom reacting to a magnetic field. As these sensors "read" the unique behaviors of subatomic particles, they also ...

Physicists developed a technique to arrange atoms in much closer proximity than previously possible, down to 50 nanometers. The group plans to use the method to manipulate atoms into configurations ...

A new imaging technique, which captured frozen lithium atoms transforming into quantum waves, could be used to probe some of ...

Scientists have adapted a device called a microwave circulator for use in quantum computers, allowing them for the first time to precisely tune the exact degree of nonreciprocity between a qubit, the ...

Massive expulsions like this one deplete a galaxy of ingredients for making new stars. Researchers suspect older stars may be ...

While the FFLO state has been observed in superconducting materials as a bulk property, confining it to a Josephson junction ...

Scientists are using magnetic imperfections to enhance fusion plasma stability, paving the way for more efficient and ...

For years, the scientific community has speculated about the potential of thorium-229 due to its unique properties.
