The race to build the first useful quantum computer is on and may revolutionize the world with brand new capabilities, from medicine to freight logistics.

Scientists have used ultracold atoms to successfully demonstrate a novel method of particle acceleration that could unlock a ...

Physicists have recently coaxed molecules into ultracold states in which motion is nearly gone. Skip to content. Subscribe or renew today Every print subscription comes with full digital access.

Researchers have succeeded in creating a "time crystal" in the laboratory that maintains autonomous rhythms at room ...

Ultracold atomic gases are good at simulating electrons in solids, but they lack charge. That neutrality can make simulating phenomena like the quantum Hall effect a challenge.

Physicists have been creating ultracold plasmas since the late 1990s, but the new plasma stands out because it is about million times denser than any of its ultracold predecessors.

A way of colliding ultracold molecules while controlling the rate at which they react has been developed by physicists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US. Researchers at ...

Dropping ultracold atoms from a nearly 150-meter-high tower bought scientists several seconds of microgravity. The MAIUS-1 rocket bumped that up to nearly six minutes.

Being able to better see and control ultracold molecules would help scientists assemble a quantum machine piece by piece, says Jun Ye, a physicist at the University of Colorado Boulder, ...

Ultracold plasmas are generating interest because of the possibility that they are “strongly coupled”, meaning that the potential energy of neighbouring charges exceeds the typical kinetic energy. In ...

Stirling Ultracold has increased hours on its factory floor and is working six days a week to meet demand. Even so, they’re back-ordered for at least a month, Tenney said.
