Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S. have made a groundbreaking achievement after they captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space.

The 20th century was marked by the discovery of exotic states of matter. First, liquid helium was observed to flow without friction at extremely low temperatures, a phase now known as superfluid. Soon ...

Researchers have demonstrated that quantum entanglement can link atoms across space to improve measurement accuracy. By ...

Humans have been eyeing the colorful Ring Nebula for nearly 250 years, but testing out a new telescope tool led to the ...

Entangled atoms, separated in space, are giving scientists a powerful new way to measure the world with stunning precision.

We've known about the iconic Ring Nebula for nearly 250 years, but it's only now that astronomers have found a giant mystery right at its core. There, stretching across the heart of the cloud of ...

Buckle up, nerds: NASA is building the first quantum gravity sensor for space—a suitcase-sized instrument that could soon be measuring everything from subterranean water to hidden reserves of ...

Researchers at the University of Basel and the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel have demonstrated how quantum mechanical ...

Small clouds of strontium atoms (blue) and rubidium atoms (red) are trapped together. The well-known properties of rubidium can be used to calibrate the applied magnetic field very precisely, which in ...

Measuring the world precisely is much harder than it sounds. At very small scales, ...
