Even for scientists who have dedicated their lives to understanding gravity, the force’s relentless downward pull is sometimes a drag. Consider, for instance, the researchers who study Bose-Einstein ...

In the quiet halls of the Duane Physics building at the University of Colorado Boulder, two JILA researchers, postdoctoral research associate Catie LeDesma and graduate student Kendall Mehling, ...

Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have demonstrated that quantum entanglement between pairs of ...

NASA's upcoming CubeSat Radio Interferometry Experiment, known as CURIE, is poised to embark on a mission to unravel the mysteries surrounding solar radio waves. Scheduled for launch on July 9, CURIE ...

Extremely precise measurements are possible using atom interferometers that employ the wave character of atoms for this purpose. They can thus be used, for example, to measure the gravitational field ...

Physicists have created a quantum interferometer on an atom chip. This device can be used to explore the fundamentals of quantum theory by studying the interference pattern between two beams of atoms.

One of the most important experiments of quantum physics gets a makeover: When neutrons are fired at a crystal, they can be made to travel along two paths at the same time. Until now, this was only ...
