Physicists developed a technique to arrange atoms in much closer proximity than previously possible, down to 50 nanometers. The group plans to use the method to manipulate atoms into configurations ...

Superradiant atoms can help us measure time more precisely than ever. In a new study, researchers present a new method for measuring the time interval, the second, mitigating some of the limitations ...

Proximity is key for many quantum phenomena, as interactions between atoms are stronger when the particles are close. In many quantum simulators, scientists arrange atoms as close together as possible ...

Scientists use laser pulses to manipulate atoms at terahertz frequencies, advancing next-gen computer technology through strain engineering.

Until now, atoms have never been imaged interacting freely in space, but a new technique known as non-resolved microscopy has changed that. MIT physicists were able to successfully capture images of ...
