A new quantum system called giant superatoms could protect quantum information and enable entanglement between multiple ...

Scientists have achieved a historic first using lasers to study electron behaviour, revealing new insights into how light ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only under specific conditions that researchers have struggled for decades to ...

Physicists in China have demonstrated that a structure called an optical metasurface can individually trap up to 78,400 ...

Researchers at Chongqing University and Chongqing Normal University report a theoretical prediction of a new quantum phase of ...

Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have uncovered a new way to manipulate unusual magnetic states by exploiting “frustration” ...

Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly with each other. These atoms are widely used to run quantum simulations and ...

This video explores the concept of "touch," explaining that it's not direct contact but rather electromagnetic repulsion between atoms. It dives into the Pauli Exclusion Principle, which illustrates ...

The Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier for their work looking at electrons in atoms in split-second moments. Hans Ellegren, the ...

NASA-funded researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass., have created a new form of superfluid matter. This research may lead to improved superconducting materials, ...
