Caroline Steel investigates the immortality of atoms by travelling to CERN, the world’s largest particle physics laboratory located along the border of France and Switzerland. There, theoretical ...

With the help of magnetic coils and carefully aligned beams, they managed to trap over a million atoms and cool them down to 250 microkelvin (about -460°F). “Colder atoms plus more atoms equals better ...

Quantum entanglement – once dismissed by Albert Einstein as "spooky action at a distance" – has long captured the public ...

The idea of powering a house with a single atom might seem like science fiction, but recent advancements in nuclear physics and energy research suggest it could be closer to reality than we think.

Prime numbers are sometimes called math’s “atoms” because they can be divided by only themselves and 1. For two millennia, ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, researchers have captured the hidden, never-ending vibrations of atoms inside molecules. This first-ever direct view of zero-point motion reveals that ...

For decades, it's been known that subtle chemical patterns exist in metal alloys, but researchers thought they were too minor to matter—or that they got erased during manufacturing. However, recent ...

A memory chip just 10 atoms thick has been tested in a lab and integrated into conventional chips, demonstrating a technology ...

The race for AI supremacy is quickly becoming a race for energy supremacy. As the U.S. lags China in nuclear development, both the government and Big Tech are making a massive new push to close the ...
