Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.

Atom interferometry has emerged as a transformative approach in both fundamental physics and practical applications, utilising the wave nature of atoms to measure minute effects of gravity, rotation ...

For experiments that require ultra-precise measurements and control over atoms—think two-photon atomic clocks, cold-atom interferometer sensors and quantum gates—lasers are the technology of choice, ...

A new analysis reveals what happens when very short or narrow electron beams encounter a particle. The research is published ...

Cold atom physics has emerged as a cornerstone of modern quantum science, enabling precise manipulation of atomic ensembles through techniques such as laser cooling and magneto-optical trapping. At ...

The idea of powering a house with a single atom might seem like science fiction, but recent advancements in nuclear physics and energy research suggest it could be closer to reality than we think.
