Dark matter is thought to make up most of the matter in the universe, but the only way it interacts with its surroundings is ...

In a striking display of quantum physics, a team of researchers has recreated one of science’s most legendary experiments—with unprecedented precision. At MIT, scientists cooled thousands of atoms to ...

In a landmark experiment that bridges a century of quantum theory and modern technology, physicists have, for the first time, directly observed individual free-range atoms interacting in open space.

Until recently, gravitational waves could have been a figment of Einstein’s imagination. Before they were detected, these ripples in spacetime existed only in the physicist’s general theory of ...
