Researchers at TU Wien have discovered a quantum system where energy and mass move with perfect efficiency. In an ultracold ...

Physicists have just upped their ante: Not only have they split atoms but, even trickier, they've put them back together. Their secret? Quantum physics. A team of scientists was able to "split" an ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

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

This calculated diffraction image shows how forked diffraction gratings shape the atoms' wave function into a vortex. (Courtesy: Science/AAAS) A wave-like property previously only seen in beams of ...

The tiny atom, the basic building block of everything, is itself almost nothing, but atoms form a crossroads where science ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...
