Physicists captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space. The pictures reveal correlations among the 'free-range' particles that until now were predicted but never directly ...

Scientists at Michigan State University have discovered how to use ultrafast lasers to wiggle atoms in exotic materials, temporarily altering their electronic behavior. By combining cutting-edge ...

The quantum world has a reputation for being elusive, but physicists are now starting to watch it unfold in real time. For the first time, researchers have directly imaged the restless motion of atoms ...
