Giant atoms, artificial atoms larger than the interacting wavelength of light, exhibit decoherence-free behavior, but what ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses nanoprinted “light cages” to trap light inside atomic vapor, enabling fast, reliable ...

The tiny atom, the basic building block of everything, is itself almost nothing, but atoms form a crossroads where science ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

For the first time, scientists have observed the iconic Shapiro steps, a staircase-like quantum effect, in ultracold atoms.

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

Researchers at the ArQuS Laboratory of the University of Trieste (Italy) and the National Institute of Optics of the Italian ...

If atoms did not connect to one another, everything we know would not exist. The Sun, the Earth, animals, plants, us — we are all based on that single chemical process when two atoms bond and form ...

Starlight and stardust are not enough to drive the powerful winds of giant stars, transporting the building blocks of life through our galaxy. That's the conclusion of a new study from Chalmers ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

A couple of weeks back I posted an answer to a question from a Twitter follower’s child, who asked “How Strong Is Space?” That was fun, so here’s another kid-question answered, this one from my own ...
