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 ...

Ultracold means temperatures less than about one thousandth of degree above absolute zero. Achieving such frigid extremes requires reducing the kinetic energy of molecules as well as their "internal ...

Physicists have recreated the mechanism behind cosmic ray acceleration in a lab for the first time using ultracold atoms and ...

Ultracold atoms dressed by light simulate gauge theories Date: August 10, 2022 Source: ICFO-The Institute of Photonic Sciences Summary: Researchers have used the coldest systems in the universe to ...

The exquisite control we can exert over ultracold atoms lets physicists simulate materials with unusual properties either by shaking the atoms, or putting them together one at a time.

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.

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, ...

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.

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.
