Researchers have combined theory and experiments to show that nuclear polarization does not limit studies of muonic atoms, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. University of ...

NASA-funded researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass., have created a new form of superfluid matter. This research may lead to improved superconducting materials, ...

Sharing is exciting: Two or more atoms in an optical cavity can absorb a single photon, according to theory. (Courtesy: Physics World) When two atoms are placed in a small chamber enclosed by mirrors, ...

The fields of quantum information technology and condensed-matter physics just achieved a major milestone as a team of researchers led by the University of Vienna successfully imaged stable, small ...

MIT scientists have coaxed atoms into an exotic “edge state” for the first time, allowing them to flow completely friction-free. The breakthrough could lead to better superconductor materials. As ...
