Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, scientists have filmed atoms performing an eternal quantum dance that never stops — even at absolute zero.
Atoms of the soft, silvery metal indium have been chilled to temperatures so cold that the particles can demonstrate strange quantum behaviour, such as forming new types of matter. Because indium ...
In a striking display of quantum physics, a team of researchers has recreated one of science’s most legendary experiments—with unprecedented precision. At MIT, scientists cooled thousands of atoms to ...
Extremely cold atoms have been nudged to self-magnify their quantum states so they can be imaged in unprecedented detail. This could help researchers better understand what quantum particles do in odd ...
The quantum world has a reputation for being elusive, but physicists are now starting to watch it unfold in real time. For ...
