Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...

The oxidative power makes atomic oxygen useful for a number of fields and industries, but scientists don’t know all the ...

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 ...

A team of physicists has created a cloud of ultracold atoms that stubbornly resists the most basic rule of everyday ...

Exploiting the hyperfine structure in repulsive light-assisted collisions (LAC) on a 87-Rubidium atom pair in an optical tweezer. When atoms collide, their exact structure—for example, the number of ...

Physicists at the University of Kaiserslautern in Germany have observed how individual atoms diffuse through a gas for the first time, and how individual collisions between particles affect diffusion.

(Nanowerk News) Thanks to new technology, it is possible to retain individual atoms, move them in a targeted manner or change their condition. Kaiserslautern physicists also work with this system. In ...

The ATLAS experiment at CERN sees possible evidence of quark-gluon plasma production during collisions between photons and heavy nuclei inside the Large Hadron Collider. Photons—the massless particles ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 286, No. 1407 (Aug. 3, 1965), pp. 519-524 (6 pages) A simple procedure is described for the calculation ...

In the world of research, diffusion is understood as a process in which tiny particles disperse uniformly throughout a gas or liquid. Although these media are made up of individual particles, ...
