Every action in physics is governed by some kind of push or pull. As far as we know, these all fall into one of just four categories; electromagnetism, gravity, and two kinds of nuclear force. Yet ...

Measuring the attractive forces between atoms and surfaces with unprecedented precision, University of Arizona physicists have produced data that could refine our understanding of the structure of ...

Nanonewtons play a crucial role in nanotechnology due to the extremely small forces involved in nanoscale interactions. Understanding and measuring these forces is essential for various applications, ...

Atoms in the optical lattice, trapped at a distance of 0.5 micron, are excited to the Rydberg state by the ultrafast excitation technique. Interaction between close Rydberg atoms results in the ...

A study on the molecule titled "Observation of Light-Induced Dipole-Dipole Forces in Ultracold Atomic Gases" has been published in the journal Physical Review X. Researchers from the Technical ...

A very special bonding state between atoms has been created in the laboratory: With a laser beam, atoms can be polarized so that they are positively charged on one side and negatively charged on the ...

Scientists developed a method combining effective theory and duality transformations to simplify and solve complex quantum systems with strong interactions. (Nanowerk News) This problem has long ...
