The results are an important stress test for theories and future experiments in atomic physics. 1.97007 femtometre (quadrillionths of a metre): That’s how unimaginably tiny the radius of the atomic ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

Scientists just outside Chicago have found that the mass of a sub-atomic particle is not what it should be. The measurement is the first conclusive experimental result that is at odds with one of the ...

Professor Daniel Blumenthal's lab develops chip-scale components that can bring the power and precision of quantum science outside of the tightly controlled environment of the lab. (Santa Barbara, ...

Manchester is the birthplace of nuclear physics and this year marks 100 years since Ernest Rutherford ‘split the atom’ at The University of Manchester…or does it? In 1917, the Nobel Prize winner ...
