Precision spectroscopy of helium and related atomic systems continues to serve as a cornerstone of experimental and theoretical quantum physics, offering stringent tests of quantum electrodynamics and ...

A research team has achieved a significant breakthrough in determining fundamental properties of atomic nuclei. The team conducted laser spectroscopy experiments on muonic helium-3. Muonic helium-3 is ...

Something genuinely strange has just happened in fundamental physics: an underground neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean ...

Helium-3 is the lighter cousin of ordinary helium, helium-4. Its atomic nucleus has two protons and two neutrons (hence the 4 after the abbreviation for the element); in helium-3, one of the neutrons ...

Neutral helium microscopy and atom optics constitute an innovative imaging paradigm that exploits low-energy, charge-neutral helium atoms to non-destructively investigate surface properties at the ...

Charged helium nanodroplets stored in an ion trap for a full minute, 10,000x longer than before, open breakthrough possibilities in nanocalorimetry and nanoscale research.

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing instruments capable of resolving them with any clarity. The journey from the first ...

A new specimen holder gives scientists more control over ultracold temperatures, enabling the study of how materials acquire properties useful in quantum computers. (Nanowerk News) Scientists can now ...

For the first time, researchers from the PRISMA + Cluster of Excellence have determined the charge radius of helium-3 and thus also the exact difference to the radius of helium-4. This precision ...
