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

A joint theoretical study by the University of Innsbruck and Zhejiang University has uncovered the microscopic origin of a ...

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the momentum of massive particles. The result, decades in the making, could help physicists probe the relationship between quantum ...

To get around the constraints of quantum physics, researchers have built a new acoustic system to study the way the minuscule atoms of condensed matter talk together. They hope to one day build an ...

A team of physicists has shown that pairs of helium atoms, chilled to near absolute zero and launched into each other, can ...

Collisional quantum gates based on fermionic atoms have been realized independently by researchers in Germany and Switzerland ...

Few concepts in physics are as familiar, yet as enigmatic, as time. In Einstein's theory of relativity, time is not absolute: ...

Olival Freire Jr is a professor of physics and the history of physics at the Federal University of Bahia, Brazil. What makes matter stable? Why are atoms as they are? Why do different materials vary ...
