Under ultracold conditions, bosons form a curious state of matter known as a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), in which all the ...

MIT physicists have captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space— “free-range” particles never ...

Scientists can now accurately predict holes in magnetic fields that would make plasma less dense and hot, a hurdle in nuclear ...

Webb telescope uncovers fiery, fast-pulsing auroras on Jupiter, reshaping how scientists understand the planet’s magnetic ...

This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. Proclaimed by the UN, it celebrates the centenary of ...

Physicists 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 directly ...

Quantum computing is an enigma, some practitioners see it as still embryonic technology with few practical examples in place, ...

"The claim that dust is halfway between an atom and Earth would be valid on a logarithmic scale for dust particles that are a few centimeters in size," said Loeb. However, he added that "dust ...

If we can harness the potential of quantum physics, modern computers may come to seem like plodding calculators in comparison with the machines of the future, says Chris Carter ...

Physicists have used a novel technique to observe individual atoms interacting in free space for the first time ever. The new ...

The adaptation for this game was created for use during one 45-minute class period. Students will learn about the different particles that make up an atom. Students will understand that the mass of an ...
