A subtle timing flash may expose the Unruh effect. The approach ties ordinary lab tools to deep quantum physics. Researchers ...

This calculated diffraction image shows how forked diffraction gratings shape the atoms' wave function into a vortex. (Courtesy: Science/AAAS) A wave-like property previously only seen in beams of ...

Most people know that you can't see atoms... or can you? With this special microscope, scientists actually can! In the late ...

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon that’s as bizarre as it is fragile. Entangled particles are thought to lose this inexplicable link when exposed to outside factors. But now, physicists have ...

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.) Since the prize announcement, cheers and excitement have surrounded the home ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

This giant greedy atom can help scientists probe the reaches of ultracold atom physics. The space between an atom's nucleus and electron is usually barren. But, when an electron's orbit sits ...
