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

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

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

Physicists have uncovered how direct atom-atom interactions can amplify superradiance, the collective burst of light from atoms working in sync. By incorporating quantum entanglement into their models ...

Using a clever laser technique, scientists have squished pairs of atoms closer together than ever before, revealing some truly mind-boggling quantum effects. When you purchase through links on our ...

Repeatedly energising a collection of ultracold atoms should destroy their collective structure, but quantum effects seem to counteract the process. “We expected to see the opposite,” says Nӓgerl. The ...

(a) Ordinary electrons without wave shaping have a uniform wave pattern when they travel. In simulations, the electrons collide with the atoms in graphene (red spheres represent graphene atoms and ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces between three or more atoms bind them together, even ...

Usually, when the fired electrons collide with the atoms of the material, the electrons become deflected and emit X-rays, in what is called bremsstrahlung or “braking radiation”. Bremsstrahlung ...
