Scientists at the X-ray free-electron laser SwissFEL have realized a long-pursued experimental goal in physics: to show how ...

Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are fascinating states of matter that emerge when atoms or molecules are cooled to extremely low temperatures just slightly above absolute zero (0 K). In 2023, ...

A quantum state of matter has been made for the first time using “dipolar” molecules – molecules that have a positively charged end and a negatively charged end. It could help enhance our ...

In a Columbia University laboratory in New York, physicist Sebastian Will and his team have reached one of ultracold physics’ long-running goals: turning molecules into a Bose-Einstein condensate.

Ever wonder why birds flock together? Or how molecules are organized in water compared to ice? Or if there are phases of matter besides the familiar solid, liquid and gas? These examples of emergent ...
