Particle physicists have made the most accurate ever measurements of the properties of an exotic atom known as kaonic hydrogen. In this atom a negative kaon orbits around a proton, similar to the way ...

Trapping antimatter is kind of like trying to catch snowflakes with a frying pan — if the snowflakes wanted to blow up the ...

Silicon Valley’s favorite everyday shoe startup Atoms has been donating shoes to healthcare workers during the COVID-19 Pandemic, but wanted to do more. The small Brooklyn-based company recently ...

At low temperatures, hydrogen atoms move less like particles and more like waves. This characteristic enables quantum ...

When most of us picture an atom, we think about a small nucleus made of protons and neutrons orbited by one or more electrons. We view these electrons as point-like while rapidly orbiting the nucleus.

A team of researchers have developed a new silicon construction technique that could potentially improve the affordability and reliability of building quantum computers. The new technique -- jointly ...

The mysteries of matter are arranged in tiers, like a series of dark basements, one below the other, leading down into the earth. When the physicists first discovered nuclear particles (protons and ...
