For the first time, researchers have found evidence that even microquasars with low-mass stars can efficiently accelerate ...

Alexandra Bell is bringing more than a decade of experience in nuclear policy to the organization that sets the Doomsday ...

Researchers are exploring multi-level atomic interactions to enhance quantum entanglement. Using metastable states in strontium, they demonstrate how photon exchange can sustain correlations, offering ...

Scientists have found an elusive third form of magnetism that could help solve a longstanding puzzle about superconductors.

It's a regrettable reality that there is never time to cover all the interesting scientific stories each month. In the past, ...

Scientists have developed a new method for measuring temperature extremely accurately by using giant 'Rydberg' atoms. This atomic thermometer provides accurate measurements 'out of the box,' without ...

Once a year, the Large Hadron Collider smashes lead ions. But how do scientists get a heavy metal into a particle accelerator ...

Interactions between atoms and light rule the behavior of our physical world, but at the same time, can be extremely complex.

Scientists used antimony atoms to improve quantum computing by making qubits more stable, like a quantum cat, and ...

The size of an atom is only a few angstroms at most - there are 10 billion angstroms in 1 metre. This video also looks at the ...

Now, in a recent study published in Physical Review Letters, Rey and JILA and NIST Fellow James K. Thompson, along with ...

Two independent teams in the US have demonstrated the potential of using the optical properties of nanocrystals to create ...
