With the help of magnetic coils and carefully aligned beams, they managed to trap over a million atoms and cool them down to ...
Attackers can leverage a design weakness in all versions of Windows to carry out code injection attacks that bypass detection by security software. Researchers have identified a way attackers could ...
A team of physicists at the University of California at Riverside (UCR) have found that graphene, which was isolated experimentally only less than three years ago, and which is a one-atom thick sheet ...
New frontiers: the new cooling technique could lead to ultracold experiments across the periodic table. (Courtesy: iStock/Eyematrix) Researchers in Singapore have used a magneto-optical trap (MOT) to ...
Between the gas phase and the condensed phase of liquids and solids, lies an intermediate state of matter that is not quite one phase or the other. Called clusters, these small agglomerations of atoms ...
Accelerating neutral atoms, contrary to laser-based as well as conventional particle accelerators, is a formidable feat, given the inert, ‘neutral’ response of these atoms to accelerating fields. Our ...
Measurements of an artificial radioactive element called lawrencium could revive an arcane controversy over the element’s position in the periodic table — and the structure of the table itself. An ...
