Physicists in China have simulated the effect of "false vacuum decay": a phenomenon believed to play out constantly in the ...

When laser flashes hit matter, electrons are knocked off their orbits around the atomic nuclei. This can generate extremely ...

A new quantum sensing approach could dramatically improve how scientists measure low-frequency electric fields, a task that ...

Could this “spooky action at a distance” lead us one step closer to the ever-elusive Unified Theory of Everything?

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Many heavy atoms form from a supernova explosion, the remnants of which are shown in this image. NASA/ESA/Hubble Heritage Team ...

Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.

A cloud of helium atoms split, scattered and fell under gravity, yet still behaved as if its parts were linked. That is the ...

A breakthrough in quantum computing achieves 99.91% accuracy using 17,000 pairs of atoms, bringing us closer to a new era in ...

Quantum physicists observed atoms entangled in motion for the first time, using helium atoms with mass and gravity, opening new ways to explore how quantum mechanics interacts with gravity.

Physicists have achieved a long-sought goal in demonstrating quantum entanglement using the momentum of atoms, rather than their internal states. Since atoms’ momentum can be affected by gravity, this ...

Analysis revealed that in acetone, adsorbed gold atoms were mostly isolated particles. The researchers suggest that this is ...

Travis Kalanick, the co-founder and former chief executive of Uber, on Friday launched his startup, ‌Atoms, focused on ...
