Quantum billiard balls: Digging deeper into light-assisted atomic collisions
When atoms collide, their exact structure—for example, the number of electrons they have or even the quantum spin of their ...
Strong nuclear force calculations explain multiscale phenomena in atomic nuclei
Atomic nuclei exhibit multiple energy scales simultaneously—ranging from hundreds down to fractions of a megaelectronvolt. A new study demonstrates that these drastically different scales can be ...

Scientists measure the quantum state of electrons for the first time
The photoelectric effect, first explained by Albert Einstein in 1905, laid the foundation for quantum mechanics. It occurs when high-energy light strikes atoms, releasing electrons. This phenomenon is ...
