Plutonium has captured the attention of scientists since its discovery in the early 1940s. This enigmatic element has an ...

Cold atom experiments trap atoms to probe quantum effects, enabling ultra-precise sensing, timekeeping, and monitoring of ...

In the rapid development of quantum computing and sensor technology, accurately simulating the behavior of atomic-level materials is particularly important. However, traditional simulation methods ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...

Researchers with the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have ...

A research team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory has developed a new method to uncover the atomic origins of unusual ...

Researchers have created an innovative method to visualize and analyze atomic structures within specially designed, ultrathin ...

The intermediate range order of covalent glasses has been extensively studied in terms of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), but the direct observation of the atomic density fluctuations that ...

While many Earth-based experiments have been run to try to detect dark matter, the mysterious substance remains elusive. Now physicists have proposed a new experiment that would try to find signals by ...
