Cooled to almost absolute zero, atoms not only move in waves like light but also can be focused into shapes called caustics, similar to the reflecting or refracting patterns light makes on the bottom ...

Lace, a startup backed by Microsoft, has raised $40 million to build chipmaking equipment based on helium atom beam ...

Researchers developed a method to pattern gold nanoparticles with atomic precision, creating patchy particles with new shapes and functions for advanced technologies. (Nanowerk News) Inspired by an ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Researchers have developed a novel technique that combines two approaches to nanofabrication - top-down and bottom-up methods - to enable unprecedented atomic-scale precision ...

I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...
