New research suggests that the Earth's solid inner core is softer and more dynamic than previously thought, changing ideas.

Using short laser pulses, researchers have imaged the exact moment an ammonia molecule bends and sheds a hydrogen atom.

Deep beneath our feet, far below the crust and mantle, researchers now argue that matter behaves in a way that does not fit the familiar categories of solid or liquid. At the center of Earth, they say ...

Researchers at TU Wien have discovered a quantum system where energy and mass move with perfect efficiency. In an ultracold ...

The quantum world has a reputation for being elusive, but physicists are now starting to watch it unfold in real time. For the first time, researchers have directly imaged the restless motion of atoms ...

Tokyo, Japan – At low temperatures, hydrogen atoms move less like particles and more like waves. This characteristic enables “quantum tunneling”, the passage of an atom through a barrier with a higher ...

Physicists have revealed a new way to control the spins of atoms, an achievement that could open the way for new kinds of sensors while also shedding light on fundamental physics. While scientists ...
