Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces ...

A Vermont research team has cracked a 90-year-old puzzle, creating a quantum version of the damped harmonic oscillator. By reformulating Lamb’s classical model, they showed how atomic vibrations can ...

Images are the first experimental evidence of long-predicted low-energy atomic vibrations called moiré phasons in twisted 2D ...

In quantum entanglement, particle links are thought to be fragile. But now, physicists have managed to produce hot clouds of trillions of entangled atoms, breaking quantity records and showing ...

Optical microscopes can help us see the microscopic world, but to use them to examine individual atoms is like measuring an ant with a measuring tape. An a | Chemistry And Physics ...

Thanks to the atoms’ wave-particle duality — a strange rule of quantum physics that says atoms can act like waves — the reunited atoms interfere with each other (SN: 1/13/22).

Whirling Atoms Dance into Physics TextbooksNASA-funded researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass., have created a new form of superfluid matter. This research may ...

Negative mass was just a theory until scientists found a way to recreate its impact in a laboratory. Now, everything about ...
