Nearly a century after Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr turned a technical disagreement into a philosophical duel, a new generation of experiments has given Bohr the edge in their most famous clash. By ...

Physicists have finally done what once sounded like science fiction: they have read the X-ray “fingerprint” of a single atom, isolating the signal of one of nature’s smallest building blocks from the ...

Virgin Galactic’s Purdue 1 suborbital flight in 2027 will probe the possibilities of in-space manufacturing and quantum technologies with autonomous experiments on board the all-Boilermaker flight.

Schematic of the MIT experiment: Two single atoms floating in a vacuum chamber are illuminated by a laser beam and act as the two slits. The interference of the scattered light is recorded with a ...

This month marks 25 years since scientists first produced a fifth state of matter, which has extraordinary properties totally unlike solids, liquids, gases and plasmas. The achievement garnered a ...

Atom interferometry has emerged as a transformative approach in both fundamental physics and practical applications, utilising the wave nature of atoms to measure minute effects of gravity, rotation ...

A new method in electron microscopy enables sub-20-picometer targeting of individual atoms without prior exposure, opening the door to atom-specific analysis and control. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Physicists confirm that light has two identities that are impossible to see at once. (Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum ...
