An experiment bludgeoning special lead atoms with high-speed particles has revealed a shocking surprise. Far from the perfect ...

In 1919 Rutherford had discovered the proton, a positively charged particle within the atom's nucleus ... his mind while working on other things. Experiments in Europe caught his eye, especially ...

UC Santa Barbara researchers are working to move cold atom quantum experiments and applications from the laboratory tabletop ...

Chalk River scientists worked on the first set of experiments that attempted to apply atomic energy to medical and biological uses. Inside the Atom examines this frontier of science and assesses ...

At the heart of the atomtronics experiment is our window atom chip technology (shown below). By patterning wires directly over the chip window it becomes possible to produce samples of ultracold atoms ...
