Artificial atoms allow scientists to push the laws of physics to the limit, gaining insight into what we are familiar with already and what we are yet to discover. Researchers have now created a new ...
A potential breakthrough from Japan may address one of the key obstacles facing this unconventional quantum computing platform. Researchers at RIKEN report a new approach that could make it easier to ...
An international research team has controlled hybrid electron-photon quantum states in helium atoms. Control of these special quantum states was enabled by the pulse formation of very intense, extreme ...
In Wednesday’s issue of Nature, a new paper describes a potentially useful way of measuring the interactions between normal matter and exotic particles, like antiprotons and unstable items like kaons ...
For decades, researchers have toyed with antimatter while searching for new laws of physics. These laws would come in the form of forces or other phenomena that would strongly favor matter over ...

Atoms are 0.1 nm across, and it took 60 years to finally see them clearly
Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing instruments capable of resolving them with any clarity. The journey from the first ...
The single ionization dynamics of helium by fast ions presents a pivotal area of study in atomic collision physics, offering profound insights into the fundamental interactions between charged ...
It’s around you, it’s a part of you, and scientists are still trying to figure it out. Antimatter: It’s the opposite of the matter we’re used to; it’s mysteriously elusive; and when it gets too close ...
A complementary approach is to swap the helium gas for liquid helium, which has a much higher density. Sótér and colleagues found that this method could be used to measure very narrow lines in the ...
