To get around the constraints of quantum physics, EPFL researchers have built a new acoustic system to study the way the ...

Arrays of neutral atoms trapped in optical tweezers—highly focused laser beams that can hold the atoms in place—are an increasingly popular way of building quantum processors. These grids of ...

Conventional curved lenses, which direct light by refraction in glass or plastic, are often bulky and heavy, offering only ...

They usually comprise an array of structures smaller than the wavelength of interest. These so-called meta-atoms can interact with the electric and magnetic components of light in a way that ...

University of Queensland researchers have made a breakthrough in muonic atom research, clearing the way for new nuclear ...

A covalent bond is a shared pair of electrons between two non-metal atoms, for example carbon dioxide. Figure caption, Two atoms sharing a pair of electrons. A covalent bond happens when the ...
