Scientists have proposed a surprising new way to detect gravitational waves—by observing how they change the light emitted by atoms. These waves can subtly shift photon frequencies in different ...

The results are just what theory predicts, but when the theory clashes as strongly with everyday experience as this, ...

Could this “spooky action at a distance” lead us one step closer to the ever-elusive Unified Theory of Everything?

Scientists have demonstrated that atoms can exhibit wave-like behavior, challenging long-held assumptions that experiments of this nature were impossible and opening new doors in quantum physics. The ...

You can say the universe has a split personality. Or better said, our physical models of the universe are the ones fractured.

Physicists developed a technique to arrange atoms in much closer proximity than previously possible, down to 50 nanometers. The group plans to use the method to manipulate atoms into configurations ...

A team led by scientists at the National Graphene Institute (NGI) at The University of Manchester has developed the first ...

The manipulation of neutral atoms by light is one of the most important scientific discoveries in the field of quantum physics in the last three decades. Researchers show that increasing the number of ...
