Scientists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) usually capture what happens when ...

Finding out what the universe is actually made of remains one of the ultimate ...

Scientists made a single-molecule transistor using quantum interference to control electron flow. This new design offers high on/off ratio and stability, potentially leading to smaller, faster, and ...

High-precision space-based gyroscopes are important in space science research and space engineering applications. In fundamental physics research, they can be used to test the general relativity ...

General relativity (GR) is a cornerstone of modern physics. Einstein’s equivalence principle (EEP) is one of the assumptions of GR and consists of three parts: the weak equivalence principle (WEP), ...

There is a rich history of studying quantum optics with atoms instead of photons 17, including demonstrations of two-atom interference 14,18,19,20. Scaling up these demonstrations requires reliable ...

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 ...
