Cold atom experiments are among the most powerful and precise ways of investigating and measuring the Universe and exploring the quantum world. By trapping atoms and exploiting their quantum ...

After growing up without reliable power at home, Iwnetim Abate is working to develop a steady supply of sustainable energy. Iwnetim Abate is one of MIT Technology Review’s 2025 Innovators Under 35.

The researchers successfully realized a stable isolated spin state on an insulating MgO thin film, laid over a ferromagnetic Fe(001) substrate, marking a significant achievement. This shows that ...

For the first time, a stunningly powerful X-ray laser has revealed minuscule atomic motions in a molecule that should otherwise be perfectly still – were it not for the quirks of quantum mechanics.

A view inside the trapped-ion quantum computer that carried out a first-of-its-kind simulation of molecular chemistry. A single atom has performed the first full quantum simulations of how certain ...

A single atom has performed the first full quantum simulations of how certain molecules react to light. The researchers who carried out the feat say that their minimalistic approach could dramatically ...

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain's neurons has a kind of 'molecular memory', which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories. The researchers have ...
