You might think that a hot object pushes atoms and molecules away due to radiation pressure. But a research team showed that for a polarizable atom, the opposite occurs: the hot object attracts it.

In a Columbia University laboratory in New York, physicist Sebastian Will and his team have reached one of ultracold physics’ ...

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CesiumAstro Inc. today announces a key milestone in its collaboration with the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Innovation Unit; CesiumAstro’s first two spacecraft ...

Quantum teleportation is one of those mysterious smoke and mirrors tricks which always captures headlines. Although it is called teleportation, no matter is shifted. Instead it is the quantum state of ...

Many people have done experiments in science classes that cause an explosion by reacting hydrogen and oxygen. However, when it comes to dangerous elements and rare elements that are difficult to ...

Two experiments on Earth are helping to shine light on the hidden characteristics of dark energy and dark matter — elusive phenomena that make up nearly 95 percent of the universe but remain hidden ...
