In a Columbia University laboratory in New York, physicist Sebastian Will and his team have reached one of ultracold physics’ ...

Recently, a research team led by Academician Lijun Wang at CIOMP under UCAS has systematically reviewed the latest ...

Physicists are now using a tightly controlled laser and a cloud of ultracold atoms to imitate the behavior of electrons in solids, effectively building a quantum version of electronics out of light ...

Automated three-stage analysis pipeline sifts out whale calls from terabytes of distributed acoustic sensing data.

Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up ...

The Linac Coherent Light Source in California has been firing record-breaking X-ray pulses for years, but now it’s due for a ...

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily life, doing work on something over and over usually makes it warmer. You ...

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

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

A new type of lidar is allowing physicists to study cloud tops at a resolution 100 to 1,000 times higher than before.

Researchers find a way to purify photons, clearing major hurdles for faster quantum computers and ultra-secure networks.
