Lanthanum, diamond crushers and advanced computer models are changing the hunt for this extreme quantum mechanical effect.

A team of physicists used lasers to create "supercrystals," even as the structures fought to not exist at all.

The elemental composition of Earth and sun are unexpectedly similar.

The quarks inside atoms move slower than the quarks inside free-floating protons and neutrons. But why?

Laser-cooled plasma has all the chill.

Lasers and microgravity will chill this ice chest-size box to 10 billion times colder than the vacuum of space.

These giant, overstuffed atoms take advantage of the weird properties of materials at very low temperatures.

For the first time, scientists have proven a phenomenon, called coherent scattering, experimentally with the world's smallest neutrino detector.

Tiny vehicles made from a single molecule will go head-to-head in the first ever NanoCar Race tomorrow.

For the first time, scientists have seen the exact locations of more than 23,000 atoms in a particle that's small enough to fit inside the wall of a single cell.
