A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

The results are just what theory predicts, but when the theory clashes as strongly with everyday experience as this, ...

For the first time, an international team of physicists has successfully harnessed a rare orbital transition in atoms of ...

Quantum physicists at ANU have observed atoms entangled in motion. "It's really weird for us to think that this is how the ...

Scientists show helium atoms can exist in two places at once, preserving quantum behavior even as they fall under gravity.

In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the ...

The Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier for their work looking at electrons in atoms in split-second moments. Hans Ellegren, the ...

A flame goes out, and something in the room shifts with it. Not because matter has vanished, but because a structure has ...

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.) Since the prize announcement, cheers and excitement have surrounded the home ...

Scientists have developed the most precise and accurate atomic clock to date – if you ran it for twice the current age of the universe, it would only be off by one second. This could not only improve ...

A transportable ytterbium optical lattice clock has been commercially shipped, rapidly recommissioned, and tested against ...
