Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control light ...

Using single-atom-resolved microscopy, ultracold quantum gases composed of two types of atoms reveal distinctly different spatial correlations — the bosons on the left exhibit bunching, while the ...

Heads or tails? If we toss two coins into the air, the result of one coin toss has nothing to do with the result of the other. Coins are independent objects. In the world of quantum physics, things ...

Physicists at MIT have succeeded in getting “quantum tornadoes” to form in clouds of ultracold atoms, according to a recent paper published in the journal Nature. This is the first direct, in situ ...

Scientists have created complexes with aromatic three-atom bismuth rings that are stabilised by heavy actinide atoms. These ...
