Having good neighbors can be very valuable—even in the atomic world. A team of Amsterdam physicists was able to determine an ...

Why did they form at that time? Astronomers know from observing distant exploding stars that the size of the universe has ...

A single atom of silver working in synergy with carbon and nitrogen atoms can efficiently convert polluting nitrogenous waste ...

In a modern version of the famed double-slit experiment, physicists demonstrated that light cannot behave as both wave and particle simultaneously, overturning a key premise Einstein held. The ...

MIT scientists used radium monofluoride atom to observe electrons entering atomic nuclei, revealing new details of nuclear magnetism.

Physicists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have made a groundbreaking discovery, developing a tabletop ...

MIT researchers have devised a new molecular technique that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing massive particle accelerators with a tabletop setup. By studying radium monofluoride, ...

Prosus will match Accel’s investment in each company. Earlier each company would get around $250,000 to $1 million in funding ...

In a metal like copper, however, the outer electrons swim around freely and are shared by all the atoms. That’s why ...

Qubits differ from classical bits, which are coded as only 0 or 1. A qubit can be a combination of both 0 and 1 simultaneously. One way to think of it is as a coin spinning between a 0 and a 1 axis.

Quantum computing is gaining steam among Big Tech companies and drawing increased interest from Washington. Here's what the technology is and what it means for the future.

Confining and rotating extremely cold atoms or molecules within atomic “Ferris wheels” made from laser light could test ...
