A cluster of 7,000 sodium atoms has just been coaxed into behaving as a single, ghostly wave, stretching quantum weirdness ...

Rydberg molecules and atoms comprise a captivating branch of modern quantum chemistry and atomic physics, where atoms in highly excited electronic states interact to form unusually long-range ...

A team of researchers from Jülich in cooperation with the University of Magdeburg has developed a new method to measure the electric potentials of a sample at atomic accuracy. Using conventional ...

This news release is available in German. Jülich, 27 November 2014 - The resolution of scanning tunnelling microscopes can be improved dramatically by attaching small molecules or atoms to their tip.

Special light beams can be used to manipulate molecules or small biological particles. However, these optical tweezers only work with objects in empty space. Any disturbing environment would deflect ...

A 13-atom molecule containing sulfur has been discovered in interstellar space for the first time, providing insight into the origins of the chemistry of life.

Many objects that we normally deal with in quantum physics are only visible with special microscopes – individual molecules or atoms, for example. However, the quantum objects that Elena Redchenko ...

Scientists use AI to generate designs of potential new molecules, a process that is 10 times faster and more precise.

Tiny “Ferris wheels” made from light and extremely cold particles could allow researchers to test a facet of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity on unprecedentedly small scales. Theories of special ...
