The four laser beams excite sodium atoms in the atmosphere to make for better cosmic observations. The post Incredible photos ...

SEATTLE — The carbon atoms in your body have likely traveled much farther than you have, possibly hundreds of thousands of light-years into space and back. A new study reveals how galaxies ...

Physicists at Washington University in St. Louis have achieved a remarkable scientific milestone: they’ve created a “time ...

An atom is so small that a single drop of water contains more than a billion atoms. Although tiny, atoms are mostly empty space. The simplified model of the atom is that of a cloud of negative ...

As it nears 35 consecutive years of space service, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space ... sulfur, and oxygen atoms. It is showing only a tiny fraction of the Veil Nebula, which is roughly as wide as ...

In recent years, physicists have been trying to better understand the behavior of individual quantum particles as they move ...

University of Queensland researchers have made a breakthrough in muonic atom research, clearing the way for new nuclear ...

Researchers at UCSB have successfully moved quantum experiments from bulky lab setups to a chip, in a global first.

In order to capitalize on these properties, many researchers currently work with highly sensitive laboratory-scale atomic optical systems to confine, trap and cool the atoms. Conventionally, these ...
