A new kind of quantum computer uses a high-resolution microscope to control the electron spins of titanium atoms. Plus, the Universe-mapping Euclid telescope fixes the wobble that threatened its ...

The Bohr model, introduced by Danish physicist Niels Bohr in 1913, was a key step on the journey to understand atoms. Ancient Greek thinkers already believed that matter was composed of tiny basic ...

Quantum mechanics boasts all sorts of delightfully odd features. There's the fact that two separated particles can interact instantaneously, a phenomenon called quantum entanglement. (Einstein ...

Using optical tweezers composed of laser light, researchers have developed a novel way to manipulate individual atoms and create a state of hyper-entanglement. This breakthrough could lead to new ...

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

The work should lead to control one to a few hundred atoms at microsecond timescales using AI control of electron beams. The computational/analytical framework ...

Zero-point motion capture: Ultrashort, high-intensity X-ray laser pulses trigger controlled explosions of molecules, making it possible to capture high-resolution images of molecular structures.
