Super-cooling radioactive atoms could create a laser-like neutrino beam, potentially opening a new avenue for studying these elusive particles and even enabling novel forms of communication. Every ...

Everyone knows solid, liquid, and gas—but what about time crystals, quark-gluon plasma, and Bose-Einstein condensates? Science has uncovered far stranger states of matter, many of which behave in ways ...

At the edge of two exotic materials, scientists have discovered a new state of matter called a "quantum liquid crystal" that behaves unlike anything we've seen before. When a conductive Weyl semimetal ...

Fig. Typical setup for laser cooling and trapping of polar molecules. (a) The population distribution of rotational states in buffer gas cell . (b) Upper panel: Comparison of molecule numbers with and ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have discovered a new state of quantum matter. The state exists within a material that the team reports could lead to a new era of self-charging ...

The first Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) was first created by Eric Cornell, Carl Wieman, Mike Anderson, Jason Ensher, and Michael Matthews on June 5, 1995 in JILA at the University of Colorado Boulder ...

Andy Matter wasn’t just a dominating wrestler, he was a force of nature. Prior to him setting foot in Happy Valley, the Penn State Wrestling program had crowned a total of six individual NCAA ...

Abstract: We present a framework for designing optimal optical pulses for the matter-wave splitting of a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) under the influence of experimental inhomogeneities, so that the ...

Mahmoud Asmar Kennesaw State University researcher Mahmoud Asmar has received a three-year grant worth $799,800 from the U.S. Department of Energy to lead cutting-edge research on light-matter ...
