Comprised of a multitude of bronze rings and bands, this stationary sculpture evokes both the frenetic movement and the coalescent quality of atoms, that molecular building block. The 83" sculpture ...

A key objective of ongoing research rooted in molecular physics is to understand and precisely control chemical reactions at ...

In magnetic resonance experiment, the frequency shift effect of nonuniform magnetic field and boundary relaxation was previously overlooked. The authors study this frequency shift and find that it ...

Researchers in France have devised a new technique in quantum sensing that uses trapped ultracold atoms to detect acceleration and rotation. They then combined their quantum sensor with a conventional ...

Sheets of metal just two atoms thick can be produced by squashing molten droplets at great pressure between two sapphires. The researchers who developed the process say the unusual materials could ...

Taking inspiration from ancient techniques, researchers have forged relatively large sheets of metal that are just atoms thick, enabling them to more readily study the weird properties of these ...

Researchers developed a photonic system that traps cold atoms with chip-scale optics, making quantum technology more compact and accessible. This breakthrough could revolutionize applications from ...

At left is a platinum nanoparticle, imaged via electron microscopy. The data have sufficient spatial resolution to display individual atoms. However, these images are heavily corrupted by noise due to ...

All the atoms and light in the universe together make up less than five percent of the total contents of the cosmos. The rest is composed of dark matter and dark energy, which are invisible but ...
