Most people know that you can't see atoms... or can you? With this special microscope, scientists actually can! In the late ...

A subtle timing flash may expose the Unruh effect. The approach ties ordinary lab tools to deep quantum physics. Researchers ...

Optical microscopes can help us see the microscopic world, but to use them to examine individual atoms is like measuring an ant with a measuring tape. An atom is way too smaller as compared to the ...

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 ...

Antimatter particles are mirror versions of matter particles, with the opposite values of properties such as electric charge.

When a system undergoes a transformation, yet an underlying physical property remains unchanged, this property is referred to ...

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon that’s as bizarre as it is fragile. Entangled particles are thought to lose this inexplicable link when exposed to outside factors. But now, physicists have ...

The Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier for their work looking at electrons in atoms in split-second moments. Hans Ellegren, the ...

This giant greedy atom can help scientists probe the reaches of ultracold atom physics. The space between an atom's nucleus and electron is usually barren. But, when an electron's orbit sits ...

A radical new theory begins with a central claim: consciousness is the fundamental field of reality; time, space, and matter ...
