The pulse of an atom's magnetic heart as it ticks back and forth between quantum states has been timed in a laboratory.

Atom interferometry has emerged as a transformative approach in both fundamental physics and practical applications, utilising the wave nature of atoms to measure minute effects of gravity, rotation ...

Ohio University’s particle accelerator allows physics students to study and experiment with no limits to their learning.

Mike Lamont, director for accelerators and technology, center left, and Fabiola Gianotti, center right, director general of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), speak with members of ...

Stockholm — Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for studying how electrons zip around atoms in fractions of seconds, a field that could one day lead to better electronics or ...

Physicists have created the heaviest clumps of antimatter particles ever seen. Known as antihyperhydrogen-4, this strange stuff could help us solve some of the most puzzling physics mysteries.

In the 1920s, when quantum mechanics was young, physicists Jane Dewey and Laura Chalk performed some of the first experimental tests of the theory, based on a phenomenon called the Stark effect. Later ...

Scientists from Auburn University have proposed a new mechanism to control some of the thinnest electronic memory devices ...
