Electrons in concert: A simple probe for collective motion in ultracold plasmas
(PhysOrg.com) -- Collective, or coordinated behavior is routine in liquids, where waves can occur as atoms act together. In a milliliter (mL) of liquid water, 1022 molecules bob around, colliding. When a bre ...

Cross-Dressing Rubidium May Reveal Clues for Exotic Computing
(PhysOrg.com) -- Neutral atoms--having no net electric charge--usually don't act very dramatically around a magnetic field. But by “dressing them up” with light, researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute, a collaborative ...

Many bodies make one coherent burst of light: Researchers see superfluorescence from solid-state material
In a flash, the world changed for Tim Noe – and for physicists who study what they call many-body problems. The Rice University graduate student was the first to see, in the summer of 2010, proof of a ...

Computer simulations give insights into how carbon dioxide reacts with a sequestering liquid
(PhysOrg.com) -- Worse than toddlers on a sugar high, carbon dioxide molecules just don't like standing still. The tiny molecules, just three atoms, leap from place to place in less than a trillionth of a ...

Watching a gas turn superfluid
Every time you boil water in a kettle, you witness a phenomenon known as a phase transition — water transforms from a liquid to a gas, as you can see from the bubbling water and hissing steam. MIT physicists ...
