Scientists of the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) in Kiruna and Umeå University find that under certain conditions ...

Most atoms are made from positively charged protons, neutral neutrons and negatively charged electrons. Positronium is an exotic atom composed of a single negative electron and a positively charged ...

Before quantum computers can solve complex problems, researchers must develop technologies that manage larger numbers of qubits (the building blocks of quantum computers) for extended periods.

The atomic nucleus contains a mix of positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons ... Electrons that are bound to atoms possess a set of stable energy levels, or orbitals, and ...

Most atoms are made from positively charged protons, neutral neutrons and negatively charged electrons. Positronium is an ...

The NATO Innovation Fund (NIF) has announced its first investment in quantum tech, leading a €5mn seed round. The recipient is Southampton University spinout Aquark Technologies, which has developed a ...

Shining lasers onto the atoms prompts them to release some energy and slow down ... Prodding each neutral atom with yet another laser excites them, greatly increasing their size.

At the South Pole, there’s a science experiment that makes the Burj Khalifa—the world’s tallest building—look small. It’s ...

The atoms bond because there is a strong enough attraction in both directions and room for the electrons in the outer energy level of the atoms. When two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom get close ...

The Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA), led by Berkeley Lab with Sandia National Laboratories as the lead partner, is a U.S.

Now, scientists at MIT have created an experimental set-up that recreates the quantum Hall effect, but uses ultracold cloud of sodium atoms instead ... they formed lossless energy states locked ...

The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their outer energy level than does silicon. Because boron has one less electron than is required ...
