Dark matter is a type of matter that is predicted to make up most of the matter in the universe, yet it is very difficult to ...

Cold atoms and matter waves is a research area focused on the quantum behavior of dilute atomic gases cooled to microkelvin or nanokelvin temperatures, where their de Broglie wavelengths become ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same time. Matter no longer behaves like solid objects moving along clear paths.

Future space missions could use quantum technologies to help us understand the physical laws that govern the universe, explore the composition of other planets and their moons, gain insights into ...

Quantum physics tells us about the properties and behaviors of atomic and subatomic particles. But scientists have long held the belief that the rules that govern the microscopic world should also be ...

(Nanowerk News) A research team led by Dominik Schneble, PhD, Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, has uncovered a novel regime, or set of conditions within a system, for cooperative ...

Using a highly coherent positronium beam, the researchers observed clear diffraction patterns after transmission through a graphene film, confirming its wave-like behavior. One of the discoveries that ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key ...
