COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scientists at Ohio State University have taken a step toward the development of powerful new computers -- by making tiny holes that contain nothing at all. The holes -- dark spots in ...

Gold has long stood apart from other metals. It does not rust like iron or tarnish like silver. Its shine endures across ...

Explore the intricate world of atoms in this video, which delves into their fundamental components: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Discover why the traditional atomic model is flawed, focusing on ...

Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces between three or more atoms bind them together, even as they are excited to ...

An international team of researchers has solved a long-standing puzzle in quantum physics by discovering an elusive quasiparticle, called a polaron, in a unique rare-earth material. The discovery, ...

MIT physicists have captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space. The pictures reveal correlations among the "free-range" particles that until now were predicted but never ...

New research shows that the unique properties of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates extend to the internal spin states of the atoms from which the condensates are formed. Bose-Einstein condensates are ...

In quantum information science, many particles can act as “bits,” from individual atoms to photons. At JILA, researchers utilize these bits as “qubits,” storing and processing quantum 1s or 0s through ...
