Scientists have made leaps and bounds in bending atoms to their will, making them into everything from ultraprecise clocks to bits of quantum data. Translating these quantum technologies from obedient ...

X-rays have long been used to make pictures of tiny objects, even single atoms. Now a team of scientists has discovered a new use for X-rays at the atomic scale: using them like a radar gun to measure ...

In an effort to put more science into the largely trial and error building of nanostructures, physicists at the Commerce Department's National Institute of ...

Researchers used atomic clock laser methods and a helper calcium atom to control a calcium monohydride molecule, expanding molecular options for quantum tasks, tests of physics, and chemistry control.
