Researchers have uncovered how atoms subtly rearrange themselves for up to a trillionth of a second before releasing ...

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 ...

Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (commonly referred to AMO Physics) is the study of the interaction between light and matter. Physicists study this interaction on various scales, from the atomic ...

Together with an international team, researchers from the Molecular Physics Department at the Fritz Haber Institute have ...
