Science rarely hands us an image that rewires intuition as much as it satisfies curiosity. But one faint, floating ...

Cold ion-atom interactions represent a rapidly evolving field that merges atomic physics, quantum chemistry and many-body dynamics. In ultracold environments, ions and neutral atoms engage in ...

Keeping cool: artist’s impression of how atoms (red) are held in place with laser beams and the ion (blue) with electric fields. (Courtesy: University of Amsterdam) A new technique that allows ...

In an Oxford lab, graduate researcher David Nadlinger captured a now-iconic image of a single strontium ion suspended between electrodes—an optical photograph whose faint glow ...

UPTON, Long Island (WABC) -- Brookhaven National Lab will soon become the center of the scientific world when it begins construction the world's first Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The $2 billion ...

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council awarded a remarkable photograph its overall prize in science photography. The subject of the photograph? A single atom visible to the naked eye.

Scientists have made leaps and bounds in bending atoms to their will, making them into everything from ultraprecise clocks to ...

I happen to find myself with a number of rather of interesting computers at the moment with a nice mix of the latest and greatest in low power, decent performance specs. So I spent much of the ...
