For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the way atoms physically move — bringing a phenomenon once described by Albert Einstein as "spooky action at a distance" into even ...

Tiny “Ferris wheels” made from light and extremely cold particles could allow researchers to test a facet of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity on unprecedentedly small scales. Theories of special ...

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 ...

Physicists are close to performing the most accurate tests of Einstein’s ideas about gravity ever undertaken. Their first-of-its-kind experiment involves using two kinds of extremely cold atoms aboard ...

Researchers at MIT have conducted what they are calling the most "idealized" double-slit experiment yet, finding further evidence that Einstein's take on the phenomenon is likely incorrect. The double ...

The first Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) was first created by Eric Cornell, Carl Wieman, Mike Anderson, Jason Ensher, and Michael Matthews on June 5, 1995 in JILA at the University of Colorado Boulder ...
