Open the Youtube video In a quiet lab at Argonne National Laboratory, Saw-Wai Hla and his team were huddled around their instruments late one night when they detected the spectral signature they had ...

Researchers have achieved a groundbreaking discovery that bridges artificial intelligence and nuclear physics. By applying deep learning techniques ...

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

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

The research was published in the journal Science ("Observation of Shapiro steps in an ultracold atomic Josephson junction"). Two superconductors separated by a wafer-thin insulating layer – that's ...

Scientists have discovered a new state of matter that isn't a solid, liquid, or gas. Researchers call this new type of material a 'corralled supercooled liquid'. Atoms in a liquid are normally like ...

In recent years, heat has stopped being just a number on a thermometer and has become something we can literally see at the atomic scale. In 2025, an ...
