Seventy years ago, in Osmond Laboratory on Penn State's University Park campus, Erwin W. Müller, Evan Pugh Research Professor ...

The simulation of quantum systems and the development of systems that can perform computations leveraging quantum mechanical ...

APPLICATION to NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS Middle School: MS-PS1-1: Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules. This includes understanding atoms as the building ...

You’ve never seen atoms like this before: A hidden motion revealed Date: July 26, 2025 Source: University of Maryland Summary: A pioneering team at the University of Maryland has captured the ...

Almost everything on Earth is made up of atoms, but where do these fundamental building blocks come from?

Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces between three or more atoms bind them together, even as they are excited to ...

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 ...

Until now, atoms have never been imaged interacting freely in space, but a new technique known as non-resolved microscopy has changed that. MIT physicists were able to successfully capture images ...
