The results are just what theory predicts, but when the theory clashes as strongly with everyday experience as this, confirmation is precious.

For the first time, physicists have entangled two atoms while they were in motion and used the result to run one of quantum ...

A cloud of helium atoms split, scattered and fell under gravity, yet still behaved as if its parts were linked. That is the ...

Scientists have proposed a surprising new way to detect gravitational waves—by observing how they change the light emitted by ...

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the momentum of massive particles. The result, decades in the making, could help physicists probe the relationship between quantum ...

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Scientists have demonstrated that atoms can exhibit wave-like behavior, challenging long-held assumptions that experiments of this nature were impossible and opening new doors in quantum physics. The ...

Could this “spooky action at a distance” lead us one step closer to the ever-elusive Unified Theory of Everything?

The active ingredient in many drugs is what's known as a small molecule: bigger than water, much smaller than an antibody and mainly made of carbon. It's tough, however, to make these molecules if ...

AMO science does more than prime the pump from which our society’s material wealth flows. In addition to providing the basis for new technology, it also is a source of the intellectual capital on ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Each agency was asked to describe the current intellectual portfolio and funding profile for the research it funds today and how that has evolved over the last decade (see also Appendix B). They were ...
