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 ...

An exotic, ultracold state of matter on Earth is helping scientists study the behavior of "fuzzy" dark matter. Dark matter is an invisible form of matter that makes up about 85% of the matter in ...

(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 ...

Scientists have made a significant breakthrough in the way we study this phenomenon, managing to trap an ultracold form of it in a magnetic "bottle" for the first time, an achievement that could ...

Stirling Ultracold's path to exponential sales growth and acquisition was not at all a sure one. Here's how PPP and two JobsOhio infusions bridged perilous gaps. Biomedical freezer maker Stirling ...

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 ...

Ultracold atoms are some of the most sensitive force sensors. They are useful for such work because at the coldest possible temperature – absolute zero – they take on quantum properties that ...

There’s a mysterious threshold that’s predicted to exist beyond the limits of what we can see. It’s called the quantum-classical transition. If scientists were to find it, they’d be able ...
