A state-of-the-art experiment at the US Department of Energy’s (DoE) Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory ...

Physicists have created a quantum interferometer on an atom chip. This device can be used to explore the fundamentals of quantum theory by studying the interference pattern between two beams of atoms.

Extremely precise measurements are possible using atom interferometers that employ the wave character of atoms for this purpose. They can thus be used, for example, to measure the gravitational field ...

A fifth state of matter has been created in space, with scientists producing Bose-Einstein condensates onboard the International Space Station (ISS) in the Cold Atom Lab experiment. A Bose-Einstein ...

Dark energy — a mysterious force pushing the universe apart at an ever-increasing rate — was discovered 26 years ago, and ever since, scientists have been searching for a new and exotic particle ...

Now, the ISS has taken custody of new hardware for another particle physics experiment: The Cold Atom Lab, which NASA says “conduct[s] a variety of experiments to help answer questions about how our ...
