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. On the grand scale of stars and galaxies, gravity rules. Albert Einstein’s ...

Scientists have squished two layers of ultracold magnetic atoms to within 50 nanometers of each other — 10 times closer than in previous experiments — revealing bizarre quantum effects not seen before ...

A ring of 10 to 30 atoms, each inflated to a fragile, oversized state and held in place by laser tweezers, has given physicists what the authors describe as a highly controlled look at a quantum ...

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of ...
