For the first time, physicists have watched a beam of positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter ...

Quantum physics overturned classical ideas by showing that matter behaves very differently at the ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

Scientists have demonstrated that atoms can exhibit wave-like behavior, challenging long-held assumptions that experiments of this nature were impossible and opening new doors in quantum physics. The ...

Nickel-cobalt (Ni-Co)-based superalloys are leading candidates for advanced turbine disks; however, their strength relies ...

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...

“Positronium is the simplest atom composed of equal-mass constituents, and until it self-annihilates, it behaves as a neutral ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...
