In a chilled lab where temperatures drop close to absolute zero, a speck of magnet hovers in place. This tiny magnet, ...
It's the turducken of the microscopic world: an atom crammed with other atoms, linked up with other atoms, to create an exotic new state of matter. The overstuffed atom uses the special properties ...
Five years later, scientists were able to peer inside a hydrogen atom using a " quantum microscope," resulting in the first direct observation of electron orbitals.
Since at least 2016, a rumor has circulated online that "a speck of dust is halfway between the size of" an atom and Earth. Variations of the claim have appeared on Pinterest and Facebook, with ...
Helium under the microscope Currently, however, the researchers are studying and analysing a helium atom using photoionization microscopy, and a paper on this will be published in the coming months.
There's a vast amount of evidence showing that our universe behaves according to quantum-mechanical rules. So why do we find quantum physics weird?
Imagine the bizarre and potentially useful abilities you might possess if you could shrink to the size of an atom.
Sometimes, all it takes to capture a great photo is a DSLR camera, a microscopic atom, and a curious Ph.D. candidate. David Nadlinger, who traps atoms for his quantum computing research at the ...
WASHINGTON -- A microscopic cancer "smart bomb" powered by a single radioactive atom is able to find and kill tumor cells in laboratory experiments. Researchers hope to test the technique on human ...
