In 1937, US physicist Isidor Rabi introduced a simple model to describe how atoms emit and absorb particles of light. Until now, this model had still not been completely explained. In a recent paper, ...

At nanokelvin temperatures, ultracold quantum gases can be stored in optical lattices, which are arrays of microscopic trapping potentials formed by laser light. Such large arrays of atoms provide ...

In Juy, Mikhail Lukin at Harvard University announced they had a 51 quantum bit simulator. Quantum simulators are used to model the minute behavior of molecules, and could help study how drugs act ...

Quantum entanglement—once dismissed by Albert Einstein as “spooky action at a distance”—has long captured the public imagination and puzzled even seasoned scientists. But for today’s quantum ...

(Nanowerk News) How hard do you have to pull on a single atom of—let’s say—gold to detach it from the end of a chain of like atoms?* It’s a measure of the astonishing progress in nanotechnology that ...

Engineers in Sydney have demonstrated a quantum integrated circuit made up of just a few atoms. By precisely controlling the quantum states of the atoms, the new processor can simulate the structure ...

Scientists have captured the first ever footage of atoms bonding at a scale around half a million times smaller than the width of a human hair. Using advanced microscopy methods, the team of UK and ...

(Nanowerk News) Subnanometer noble-metal clusters have been studied previously for these possibilities in catalytic applications. For example, it is known that platinum is used as a catalyst for a ...

Researchers have developed a technique similar to the MRI but has higher resolution and sensitivity, which has the ability to scan individual cells. Researchers from the Institute of Photonic Sciences ...
