Scientists have proposed a surprising new way to detect gravitational waves—by observing how they change the light emitted by atoms. These waves can subtly shift photon frequencies in different ...

Quantum physicists at the Australian National University (ANU) have achieved a major milestone by directly observing atoms ...

A cloud of helium atoms split, scattered and fell under gravity, yet still behaved as if its parts were linked. That is the ...

Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control light ...

Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces from Imperial College London. Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and ...

Researchers have demonstrated that pairs of helium atoms can exist in two places at once while remaining linked in motion by ...

Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime produced by violent cosmic events, such as the merging of black holes. So far, direct detections have relied on measuring tiny distance changes over ...

Driving late at night, you come upon a red light and stop the car. You lift your hand wearily to block the red glow streaming through your windshield. Suddenly, both the green and yellow lights come ...

Scientists awarded for light pulses that capture electron moves Findings could advance electronics and medical diagnostics Laureates share $1 million prize Second Nobel prize of this year's line-up ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have realized particularly stable quantum logical operations with qubits made of neutral atoms.

AMO science does more than prime the pump from which our society’s material wealth flows. In addition to providing the basis for new technology, it also is a source of the intellectual capital on ...
