A cluster of 7,000 sodium atoms has just been coaxed into behaving as a single, ghostly wave, stretching quantum weirdness ...

Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow quantum rules.

From nearly indestructible metals, like tungsten, to delicate clouds in the sky, atoms make up everything around us. But do these atoms ever touch each other? As with most topics in atomic physics, ...

Scientists have uncovered that some atoms in liquids don't move at all—even at extreme temperatures—and these anchored atoms dramatically alter the way materials freeze. Using advanced electron ...

Using single-atom-resolved microscopy, ultracold quantum gases composed of two types of atoms reveal distinctly different spatial correlations — the bosons on the left exhibit bunching, while the ...
