Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (commonly referred to AMO Physics) is the study of the interaction between light and matter. Physicists study this interaction on various scales, from the atomic ...

Researchers have combined theory and experiments to show that nuclear polarization does not limit studies of muonic atoms, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. University of ...

Cooling atoms to ultra-low temperatures reveals the striking differences between fermions and bosons at the quantum level. When the 2001 Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to Eric Cornell and Carl ...

Ultracold atoms manipulated by lasers realized a Laughlin state, a peculiar quantum liquid where each atom dances around its congeners. (Courtesy: Nathan Goldman) Physicists at Harvard University in ...
