The agency’s Cold Atom Lab is getting its second major upgrade and will be using it to explore the quantum realm. On Tuesday, Aug. 1, a major hardware update for NASA’s Cold Atom Lab lifted off aboard ...

Produced inside NASA’s Cold Atom Lab, the bubbles provide new opportunities to experiment with an exotic state of matter. Since the days of NASA’s Apollo program, astronauts have documented (and ...

NASA is experimenting with the use of quantum technology to measure gravity, magnetic fields, and other forces in space. The space agency just tested a brand new tool on board the International Space ...

For the first time, scientists have observed the iconic Shapiro steps, a staircase-like quantum effect, in ultracold atoms. In a recent experiment, an alternating current was applied to a Josephson ...

Physicists at the MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms have pulled off a feat once confined to the blackboards of theorists: they’ve taken the first direct images of atoms freely interacting in ...
