Photoionization mass spectrometry has transformed analytical chemistry, enabling complex chemical analysis and celebrating a ...

Physicists have finally watched positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, behave like a rippling quantum wave instead of a tiny billiard ball. In a set of ...

By squeezing terahertz light beyond its usual limits, researchers have exposed hidden quantum "jiggles" inside a ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

Researchers at Santa Clara University have developed a comprehensive mathematical framework to rigorously analyze and predict ...

This novel terahertz microscope from MIT enables the observation of superconducting electron dynamics, crucial for future ...

A microscopic clump of sodium has become the largest object ever to be observed as a wave, improving upon previous records by ...

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...

Scientists have shattered the diffraction limit, using continuous-wave lasers to resolve images at 0.1 nanometers.

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key ...

Using a highly coherent positronium beam, the researchers observed clear diffraction patterns after transmission through a graphene film, confirming its wave-like behavior. One of the discoveries that ...
