The new study -- led by Feng Liu, a professor of materials science and engineering -- supports a controversial 2000 study by German physicist Franz Giessibl, who claimed he was able to use an atomic ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

Physicists have found a way to study the inner workings of Josephson junctions without using electronics at all.

The effects of gravity — the force that governs the motion of gigantic celestial bodies and the distribution of matter in the cosmos — are extremely hard to study over short distances. This is because ...

For the first time, scientists have observed the iconic Shapiro steps, a staircase-like quantum effect, in ultracold atoms.

Some of the most exciting, mind-blowing physics happens when things get really, really cold—such as atoms clumping beneath the shell of a far-out electron. Imagine a bunch of people huddled under an ...

When Moby sang about humans being made of stars, he wasn’t just being poetic. It certainly wasn’t his idea though, as the theory has been around for decades now. Supposedly, the same kind of atoms ...

This corralled supercooled liquid relies on the surprising property that some atoms in a liquid remain stationary regardless ...

COLUMBUS , Ohio -- Super-hot atoms in space hold the key to an astronomical mystery, and an Ohio State University astronomer is leading an effort to study those atoms here on Earth. Anil Pradhan, ...

Supercomputer simulations show that at the atomic level, material stress doesn't behave symmetrically. Widely-used atomic stress formulae significantly underestimate stress near stress concentrators ...
