For over two decades, physicists have been working toward implementing quantum light storage—also known as quantum memory—in ...

The question of where atoms come from requires a lot of physics to be answered completely – and even then, physicists only have good guesses to explain how some atoms are formed.

Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a powerful method to look deep inside single-atom catalysts—materials where every ...

Many heavy atoms form from a supernova explosion, the remnants of which are shown in this image. NASA/ESA/Hubble Heritage ...

Richard Feynman, a famous theoretical physicist who won the Nobel Prize, said that if he could pass on only one piece of ...

A new method uses helium droplets combined with ultrashort laser pulses to trigger chemical reactions in a controlled way.

An atom consists of a heavy center, called the nucleus, made of particles called protons and neutrons. An atom has lighter ...

An atom consists of a ... but I'll talk about those soon. An element is what scientists call a group of atoms that are all ...

Why did they form at that time? Astronomers know from observing distant exploding stars that the size of the universe has ...

Astronomers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bengaluru, have identified an exceptionally rare helium-rich star, designated A980, containing germanium levels eight times greater than those ...

For the first time, a research team led by Markus Koch from the Institute of Experimental Physics at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) has tracked in real time how individual atoms combine to ...
