Attosecond physics has emerged as a transformative approach to probing the ultrafast dynamics of electrons within atoms, molecules and solids. By utilising light pulses that last on the order of 10⁻¹⁸ ...

New experiments using one-dimensional gases of ultra-cold atoms reveal a universality in how quantum systems composed of many particles change over time following a large influx of energy that throws ...

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Imagine zooming into matter at the quantum scale, where tiny particles can interact in more than a trillion configurations at once. If that sounds complicated, it is: Physicists often ...

The physics department at UC Santa Barbara houses its own powerful particle accelerator that accelerates electrons to 99.4% of the speed of light: The Sherwin Group’s ability to produce short and ...
