Single atoms captured morphing into quantum waves in startling image

This is the clearest ever image of individual atoms behaving like a wave, as predicted by quantum mechanics. Such images could eventually be used to study this exotic and poorly understood quantum ...

Scientists capture the secret quantum dance of atoms for the first time

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, researchers have captured the hidden, never-ending vibrations of atoms inside molecules. This first-ever direct view of zero-point motion reveals that ...

Cold radioactive molecules prepped and readied for physics discoveries

For the first time, researchers have developed a way to create chilled molecules containing the radioactive element radium.

First measured momentum of entangled atoms proves theory that particles can be in two places at once

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 ...
