Researchers tested a strategy for developing single-atom catalysts that may help us develop more efficient methods for water purification. All humans need clean water to live. However, purifying water ...

JAKARTA, Indonesia — A predawn landslide triggered by torrential rains on Indonesia's main island of Java killed at least eight people on Saturday and left 82 missing as rescuers struggled through ...

For quantum computers to outperform their classical counterparts, they need more quantum bits, or qubits. State-of-the-art quantum computers have around 1,000 qubits. Columbia physicists Sebastian ...

The era of A.I. propaganda is here — and President Trump is an enthusiastic participant. After nationwide protests this weekend against Mr. Trump’s administration, the president posted an ...

Artist’s impression, based on actual measurement data, of the nuclear spin of an atom flipping between distinct quantum states. The flipping was observed as a fluctuation in the electrical current ...

Ultracold atoms recreate Fermi acceleration in a controllable lab setup Mini Fermi accelerator pushes atoms beyond 0.5 m/s using optical barriers Cold atom accelerator mimics cosmic ray energy spectra ...

Abstract: We present an on-chip cold atom inertial sensor based on a Ramsey sequence configured to measure acceleration. Cold atom interferometers are of great interest due to their excellent ...
