Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

The quantum world has a reputation for being elusive, but physicists are now starting to watch it unfold in real time. For ...

IBM has figured out how much force it takes to move atoms. Next, it will try to build things with those atoms. Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, where he covers hardware, research ...

In a landmark study led by Northwestern University, scientists have achieved a long-standing goal in chemistry: observing catalysis in real-time at the atomic level. Using a groundbreaking imaging ...

Researchers at Stanford have taken the first snapshots of ultrafast switching inside a quantum electronic device. The team has discovered a short-lived state they believe can lead to faster and more ...

Scientists have uncovered that some atoms in liquids don't move at all—even at extreme temperatures—and these anchored atoms dramatically alter the way materials freeze. Using advanced electron ...

They observe for the first time the movement of oxygen atoms in liquid water, revealing life forms and effects for plasma technologies.

(Nanowerk News) Scientists have found a new way to use some of the world’s most powerful X-rays to watch how atoms move at ultrafast speeds within a single atomic sheet. A study led by researchers at ...

When excited, atoms move at impossibly small length and time scales -- too small and too fast to have been observed in years past. But as applied and engineering physics professor Joel D. Brock ...

A study on the atoms titled "Tracking single adatoms in liquid in a Transmission Electron Microscope" has been published in the journal Nature. The new footage from the experiment shows platinum atoms ...
