Physicists have finally watched positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, behave like a rippling quantum wave instead of a tiny billiard ball. In a set of ...

Researchers have demonstrated that a nanoparticle of 7,000 sodium atoms can act as a wave, creating a record-setting ...

It may sound like an oxymoron, but this massive nanoparticle made up of 7,000 sodium atoms is the largest to exhibit such quantum behavior.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Today, a humongous team of astronomers called the NANOGrav ...

Scientists review research on gravitational wave detectors as a historical example of quantum technologies and examine the fundamental research on the connection between quantum physics and gravity.

We are all bobbing in a sea of ripples in space-time, called gravitational waves, reverberating through the fabric of the universe, scientists announced on Wednesday. Those ripples are probably the ...

The largest nuclear fusion experiment in the world, the Joint European Torus (JET), has begun a new wave of testing this month. In a statement from the UK Atomic Energy Authority, it was announced ...

The eighth-grade hallway at Danville Middle School recently was filled with students using Slinkies to conduct experiments about ocean waves. Eighth-graders at DMS were studying astronomy. After ...

NASA’s Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) has successfully completed its critical space environment tests. Planned for launch to the International Space Station, AWE will study gravity waves in ...
