An array of magnetic traps designed for manipulating individual biomolecules and measuring the ultrasmall forces that affect their behavior has been demonstrated by scientists at the National ...

The precise measurement of states in atomic and molecular systems can help to validate fundamental physics theories and their predictions. Among the various platforms that can help to validate ...

Researchers at CERN have created and trapped antihydrogen in an attempt to study the underpinnings of the standard model of physics. Antihydrogen is made of antiparticles, specifically an antiproton ...

Tiny levitator: In this photo of the experiment, the arrow marks the position of the 48µm-diameter particle. Courtesy: W Wieczorek It might not look like much, but this tiny levitating particle could ...

JILA researchers developed a new magnetic trap and a new technique to achieve "evaporative cooling" of hydroxyl molecules (one hydrogen atom bonded to one oxygen atom). A microwave pulse at a specific ...

A team from Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics (MSU) together with their colleagues developed a magnetic waveguide able to sort neutrons with different spins and storethem different layers. The ...

Patterned fluxons could encode information. Superconducting materials offer a promising substrate for computers of the future because of their resistanceless operation at low temperatures. Fluxons, ...

Achieving nuclear fusion in the next few decades is an imperative goal for our power-hungry society, and scientists might have just confirmed that we are making the right steps forward. The rest of ...
