A cluster of 7,000 sodium atoms has just been coaxed into behaving as a single, ghostly wave, stretching quantum weirdness ...

A microscopic clump of sodium has become the largest object ever to be observed as a wave, improving upon previous records by ...

Researchers have demonstrated that a nanoparticle of 7,000 sodium atoms can act as a wave, creating a record-setting ...

Physicists have coaxed clusters of thousands of atoms into a delicate quantum limbo, creating a record breaking version of ...

Atoms are normally made of a nucleus and electrons. But scientists are proposing a hunt for a new variety of atom without either. Tauonium (sometimes called “ditauonium” or “true tauonium”) would ...

Discover how new, 3D printed, textured surfaces can help to "bounce" unwanted gas particles away from quantum sensors, ...

A new computational framework maps 3D atomic positions in amorphous materials, achieving full accuracy for silica using ...

NASA’s IMAP spacecraft studies charged particles, energetic neutral atoms, and magnetic fields at the heliosphere’s boundaries, providing real-time space weather data for Earth and spacecraft.

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 ...

Scientists studying molten metals have uncovered a surprising truth: even in a liquid state, some atoms do not move at all. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Motionless atoms can trap liquid metal in a strange ...
