An international team has discovered how electrons can slither rapidly to-and-fro across a quantum surface when driven by external forces. The research has enabled the visualization of the motion of ...

A new specimen holder gives scientists more control over ultracold temperatures, enabling the study of how materials acquire properties useful in quantum computers. (Nanowerk News) Scientists can now ...

A drop of liquid helium cooled to an extremely low temperature can be made to float in a vacuum for an indefinitely long time. In this state, it could serve as a powerful mini-laboratory for ...

The war in Iran has taken almost a third of the world’s helium off the market, moving supply of the critical material from a ...

Why is the availability of helium becoming a pressing concern for research labs, and what unique challenges does it pose? The high cost of helium is a big issue most researchers face, especially if ...

A research team has achieved a significant breakthrough in determining fundamental properties of atomic nuclei. The team conducted laser spectroscopy experiments on muonic helium-3. Muonic helium-3 is ...

This demanding experiment is only possible with the help of PSI's proton accelerator facility. There Aldo Antognini's team generates so-called muonic helium-3, in which the two electrons of the helium ...
