Scientists at Michigan State University have discovered how to use ultrafast lasers to wiggle atoms in exotic materials, temporarily altering their electronic behavior. By combining cutting-edge ...

Atoms are the building blocks of matter. Everything around us — from air and water, to rocks, plants and animals — as well as everything within our bodies, is made up of atoms. They are very small, ...

Physicists at the University of Regensburg have found a way to manipulate the quantum state of individual electrons using a microscope with atomic resolution. The results of the study have now been ...
