Chemical reaction at ultracold temperatures is a fascinating research field and has attracted great interest in recent years 1,2,3,4,5. In the past decade, ultracold Feshbach molecules and ground ...

Everything we can see and touch, and quite a lot that we can’t as well, is made of tiny particles called atoms. Some substances, like particles of this iron, contain only one kind of atom. Iron is an ...

Physicists in Germany have come up with a way to cool a mixture of two different atomic species of fermions to extremely cold temperatures, forming a “degenerate quantum gas”. To do this they invented ...

Physicists have a new window into two of the most intriguing and least understood phenomena in physics -- superconductivity and superfluidity. Researchers report the observation of an elusive quantum ...

Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information in Austria have succeeded in creating the first ever dipolar quantum mixture in which Bose-Einstein condensates made of two ...
