Experiments with ultra-cold atoms at the TU Wien have shown surprising results: coupled atom clouds synchronize within milliseconds. This effect cannot be explained by standard theories.

When two ultra-cold quantum gases are coupled, they can synchronize spontaneously, oscillating in perfect unison after j…

Light has bidirectional transmission reciprocity in common dielectric material. Breaking this reciprocity in the directi…

For the first time, researchers from UNIGE and MBI in Berlin have placed an electron in a dual state -- neither freed nor bound -- thus confirming a hypothesis from the 1970s

The more intense a laser is, the easier should it be to ionise the atom--in other words, to tear the electrons away from…

Engineers team up to reduce the size, cost and power requirements of an optical frequency device

Optical frequency synthesizers provide unprecedented performance but until now have been large, expensive and power hung…
