Atomic Scale News Today

Scientists have managed to measure gravity at the microscopic scale, a development that could potentially lead to a better understanding of quantum gravity theory.

Neuromorphic computers aim to one day replicate the amazing efficiency of the brain.

Increasing the intensity of the interaction between light and matter to create, for example, better photodetectors or quantum light sources, is a key objective in quantum optics and photonics.

A team from Aalto University and the University of Jyväskylä have created an artificial quantum magnet featuring a quasiparticle made of entangled electrons, the triplon

Experiments by a team of IGM researchers have recently successfully replicated the atmospheric configuration of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, in laboratory conditions. Using the relatively new atomic force microscopy (AFM)...

Recreated Particles of Titans Haze Could Help Us Understand How Life Began on Earth MATT WILLIAMS, UNIVERSE TODAY 28 FEBRUARY 2021 Beyond Earth, the general scientific consensus is that the best place to search for evidence of extraterrestrial life is Mars. However, it is by no means the only place. Aside from the many extrasolar planets that have been designated as "potentially-habitable," there are plenty of other candidates right here in our Solar System.   These include the many icy sa...
