The experiment showed that Bohr was definitely correct when he argued for complementarity, and that Einstein had got it wrong. The more atom-rustling that was measured, the weaker the diffraction ...

In atom-based quantum technologies, motion is seen as a nuisance. The tiniest atomic jiggle or vibration can scramble the delicate quantum information stored in internal states such as the atom’s ...

In the 1950s, Stanley Miller and Nobel laureate Harold Urey conducted experiments at the University of Chicago in which they ...

A new laboratory experiment uses a water tornado to simulate key processes in planet formation within protoplanetary discs.

In a paper published in Nature Physics, the Caltech team uses its new method to precisely compute the strength of electron-phonon interactions and to predict associated effects quantitatively. The ...

Scientists have developed a cosmic car radio that could tune into the frequency of axions, a prime dark matter suspect.

Electron–phonon interactions in a material have been modelled by combining billions of Feynman diagrams. Using a modified ...
