(Nanowerk News) A research team led by Dominik Schneble, PhD, Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, has uncovered a novel regime, or set of conditions within a system, for cooperative ...

Black holes crashing together may be revealing clues about dark matter hidden across the universe. Physicists created a new model predicting how dark matter could subtly distort gravitational waves ...

Dark matter is a mysterious type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, yet is predicted to account for most of the universe's mass. While physicists have gathered extensive indirect ...

Cold atoms and matter waves is a research area focused on the quantum behavior of dilute atomic gases cooled to microkelvin or nanokelvin temperatures, where their de Broglie wavelengths become ...

Single shot experimental image of the in situ density profile of the cloud of potassium atoms measured with matter-wave optics. The vertical fringes show the periodic spatial order reminiscent of the ...

Due to come online later this year and packed with state-of-the-art optics, Advanced LIGO is aiming for a direct detection of gravitational waves that will open a new window on the universe, say Iain ...
