A research team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory has developed a new method to uncover the atomic origins of unusual ...

The microchips that power our phones, computers, and countless other devices look perfectly uniform on the outside, but on ...

Quantum nano-mechanics. Quantum jumps in atomic physics. Continuous transitions between quantum states in quantum‒classical mechanics for molecular and chemical physics involve both chaotic (dozy ...

In the rapid development of quantum computing and sensor technology, accurately simulating the behavior of atomic-level materials is particularly important. However, traditional simulation methods ...

Engineers in Sydney have demonstrated a quantum integrated circuit made up of just a few atoms. By precisely controlling the quantum states of the atoms, the new processor can simulate the structure ...

In 1931, Harvey Elliott White developed a device that traced out the shapes of electron clouds by approximating solutions to ...

It images single atoms. It maps atomic-scale hills and valleys on metal and insulating surfaces. And it records the flow of current across atom-thin materials subject to giant magnetic fields.

New study proposes using atomic clocks to probe the intersection of quantum mechanics and general relativity in spacetime.

The Bohr model, introduced by Danish physicist Niels Bohr in 1913, was a key step on the journey to understand atoms. Ancient Greek thinkers already believed that matter was composed of tiny basic ...

Similar to how a radio antenna plucks a broadcast from the air and concentrates the energy into a song, individual atoms can collect and concentrate the energy of light into a strong, localized signal ...
