Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...

A team of physicists has created a cloud of ultracold atoms that stubbornly resists the most basic rule of everyday ...

Cooling atoms to ultra-low temperatures reveals the striking differences between fermions and bosons at the quantum level. When the 2001 Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to Eric Cornell and Carl ...

Researchers in the US have made ultracold molecules from a gas of fermionic atoms for the first time. Deborah Jin of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder and colleagues at the ...

Scientists have succeeded in the stabilization and direct imaging of small clusters of noble gas atoms at room temperature. This achievement opens up exciting possibilities for fundamental research in ...

For decades, astronomers have wondered what the very first stars in the universe were like. These stars formed new chemical elements, which enriched the universe and allowed the next generations of ...

"The Universe in which this galaxy existed is a very different Universe from the one we know today," Walter said. For about 300,000 years after the Big Bang, the Universe was filled with very hot gas ...

For the first time, scientists have successfully trapped atoms of krypton (Kr), a noble gas, inside a carbon nanotube to form a one-dimensional gas. Scientists from the University of Nottingham’s ...

May 15 (UPI) --Scientists have observed an unexpectedly large quantum system featuring 15 trillion entangled atoms, according to a new study. Quantum entanglement describes the connection between ...

Oct. 10 (UPI) --Until recently, astronomers assumed hydrogen molecules fueled star formation in young galaxies. But new research suggests atomic hydrogen may be equally important to star formation. In ...
