The results are just what theory predicts, but when the theory clashes as strongly with everyday experience as this, ...

Scientists have proposed a surprising new way to detect gravitational waves—by observing how they change the light emitted by atoms. These waves can subtly shift photon frequencies in different ...

Could this “spooky action at a distance” lead us one step closer to the ever-elusive Unified Theory of Everything?

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Scientists have demonstrated that atoms can exhibit wave-like behavior, challenging long-held assumptions that experiments of this nature were impossible and opening new doors in quantum physics. The ...

Physicists at the MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms have pulled off a feat once confined to the blackboards of theorists: they’ve taken the first direct images of atoms freely interacting in ...

A team led by scientists at the National Graphene Institute (NGI) at The University of Manchester has developed the first ...

Physicists directly observed ultracold atoms in an 'edge state,' flowing along a boundary without resistance. The research could help physicists manipulate electrons to flow without friction in ...

AMO science does more than prime the pump from which our society’s material wealth flows. In addition to providing the basis for new technology, it also is a source of the intellectual capital on ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Each agency was asked to describe the current intellectual portfolio and funding profile for the research it funds today and how that has evolved over the last decade (see also Appendix B). They were ...
