Invisible dark matter particles may regularly pass through our bodies, and dozens to thousands of these particles may be colliding with atoms inside us every year, according to a new calculation.

When atoms collide, their exact structure—for example, the number of electrons they have or even the quantum spin of their ...

Researchers at TU Wien have discovered a quantum system where energy and mass move with perfect efficiency. In an ultracold gas of atoms confined to a single line, countless collisions occur—but ...

The nucleus of the Xenon atom can assume different shapes depending on the balance of internal forces at play. As two Xenon atoms collide in the CERN experiment, extremely hot conditions are created ...

Quantum physicists observed atoms entangled in motion for the first time, using helium atoms with mass and gravity, opening new ways to explore how quantum mechanics interacts with gravity. (Nanowerk ...

Researchers have discovered a simple yet powerful way to protect atoms from losing information—a key challenge in developing reliable quantum technologies. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

Exploiting the hyperfine structure in repulsive light-assisted collisions (LAC) on a 87-Rubidium atom pair in an optical tweezer. When atoms collide, their exact structure—for example, the number of ...
