An experiment found photons can exit a material before entering it: a paradoxical evidence of "negative time".

The word magic is not often used in the context of science. But in the early 1930s, scientists discovered that some atomic nuclei—the center part of atoms, which make up all matter—were more stable ...

What have you missed on Hackaday this week? Elliot Williams and Al Williams compare notes on their favorites from the week, ...

A new technology to continuously place individual atoms exactly where they are needed could lead to new materials for devices ...

What’s fun is that this group delay can theoretically be in the negative. The team used light whose frequency is close to the ...

In a quiet lab at Northwestern University, a team of scientists peered into a high-powered microscope, holding their breath.

In a recent article published in MIT News, researchers directly observed edge states in a cloud of ultracold atoms. They captured images showing atoms flowing without resistance along a boundary, even ...

A research team at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed a new advanced microscopy tool to "write" with atoms, placing ...
