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

In a quiet corner of low-temperature physics, researchers have stumbled on a phase of matter that seems to break one of the field’s unwritten rules: it works without well-defined particles. Instead of ...

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

Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, unsettling uncertainties ...

A strange, glowing form of matter called dusty plasma turns out to be incredibly sensitive to magnetic fields. Researchers found that even weak fields can change how tiny particles grow, simply by ...

Tests in a gate-defined loop on graphene tracked a fractional charge circling back with a steady interference beat, as ...

AMES, Iowa – Martin Thuo likes to look for new, affordable and clean ways to put science and technology to work in the world. His lab is dedicated to an idea called frugal innovation: “How do you do ...

Can a single particle have a temperature? It may seem impossible with our standard understanding of temperature, but ...

Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and the University of Oklahoma have pinpointed a one-dimensional system where such particles can exist and have examined their ...

Building things so small that they are smaller than the width of a human hair was previously achieved by using a method ...
