By exerting unprecedented control over extremely cold atoms, researchers have put them in a state with several simultaneously ...

Nature categorizes particles into two fundamental types: fermions and bosons. While matter-building particles such as quarks ...

In this interview, Luis Orozco of the University of Maryland, College Park offers some metaphors to help us begin to comprehend BECs and get a grasp of research in the strange world of ultracold ...

Onboard the MAIUS-1 rocket, a carefully choreographed system of lasers split the ultracold atoms into multiple matter waves before letting them collide. Images captured inside the rocket ...

The team is affiliated with the MIT Physics Department, the MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms, and MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE). A light kick When Ketterle came to MIT as a ...

In one of the most surprising recent developments, the Virginia-Orsay team has observed that such an ultracold plasma can form spontaneously from a gas of ultracold Rydberg atoms. In the experiments, ...

(That's a few degrees colder than space!) The test was designed to study how ultracold gas behaves in microgravity, and the results may lead to experiments with Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs ...

Dry ice orders are spiking and the backlog to buy some $15,000 medical-grade ultracold freezers is up to six weeks. “Sales are up 250% from the first quarter,” said Dusty Tenney, CEO of ...

The first circuit of ultracold atoms has been unveiled by physicists in the US. The team has already shown how the atomic current in the circuit can be controlled precisely and believes that similar ...
