Learn about how Mark Raizen and his team at UT Austin have developed the world's highest resolution atom lens. An atom lens is analogous to a glass lens used in an optical microscope or magnifying ...

Under their pulsed regime, Stolte and Lee observed the switching of the atom in real-time in the readout displayed on their ...

Scientists observed nuclear spin flips in a titanium atom lasting seconds, advancing quantum sensing and memory.

At many universities, student researchers rarely get the chance to even see a transmission electron microscope, or TEM, up ...

Researchers at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have observed the magnetic nucleus of an atom flipping ...

Scientists tracked an atom's nuclear spin in real time with a tunneling microscope, finding it stable for seconds, opening ...

Seventy years ago, in Osmond Laboratory on Penn State's University Park campus, Erwin W. Müller, Evan Pugh Research Professor ...

Since more than a decade it has been possible for physicists to accurately measure the location of individual atoms to a precision of smaller than one thousandth of a millimeter using a special type ...

Optical microscopes can help us see the microscopic world, but to use them to examine individual atoms is like measuring an ant with a measuring tape. An atom is way too smaller as compared to the ...

Canada is too-often the overlooked member of North America. But, as it turns out, they're doing all sorts of interesting things up there. The University of Alberta's National Institute of ...

Electron microscopes have been helping us see what the things around us are made of for decades. These microscopes use a beam of electrons to illuminate extremely small structures, but they can't ...
