Trapping antimatter is kind of like trying to catch snowflakes with a frying pan — if the snowflakes wanted to blow up the ...

At low temperatures, hydrogen atoms move less like particles and more like waves. This characteristic enables quantum ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

Laser light can physically distort Janus TMD materials, revealing how their asymmetrical structure amplifies light-driven ...

Traditionally, scientists have measured gravity’s influence on atoms by tracking how fast atoms tumble down tall chutes. Such experiments can help test Einstein’s theory of gravity and precisely ...

Scientists in South Korea have created what they call "the world’s smallest ball game," throwing individual atoms between two optical traps. The research could eventually make for more adaptable and ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The Earth’s crust is cracked into seven major tectonic plates ...

Physicists have successfully created the world's first 3D simulation of topological matter consisting of ultracold atoms. Physicists from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...
