A gas that doesn’t experience resistance or diffusion when cooled to freezing proves that atoms can move in a straight line ...

For the first time, physicists in Italy have created a 'lump soliton': an extremely stable packet of light waves which can ...

For two centuries, students have learned that heat flows and engines work according to rigid limits that no machine can beat.

Physicists are now using a tightly controlled laser and a cloud of ultracold atoms to imitate the behavior of electrons in solids, effectively building a quantum version of electronics out of light ...

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily ...

On August 6, 1945, the sky above the Japanese city of Hiroshima opened. A blinding flash, then a deafening sonic boom. An entire city pulverized in seconds. Thus began the nuclear age. Today, 80 years ...

A pivotal scene in the explosive hit biopic and Best Picture winner, "Oppenheimer," involves America's top scientists discussing whether or not to develop an even more potent nuclear weapon — the ...

The Trump administration is planning to close a small, obscure laboratory whose work undergirds everything from microchip manufacturing to nuclear fusion. The Atomic Spectroscopy Group at the National ...

All the tech we rely on, from cars to smartphones, was engineered using physics. You don’t need to know the science to use these things. But a well-rounded human should understand at least some of the ...

Atomic’s flagship powder ski and Chris Benchetler’s pro model returns to its freestyle roots for 2025 with an updated construction for more float, pop and playfulness. Atomic Bent Chetler 120 Specs ...

The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons. It would seem, therefore, that it should not be difficult to reproduce ...
