Researchers Take Key Step Toward Quantum Memory

Storage and retrieval of single photon demonstrates rudimentary quantum network (more)

Spins mixed up

An atomic Bose–Einstein condensate represents a highly correlated, coherent state of matter. Experiments now reveal that the collective matter-wave properties extend to include coherent dynamics of the spin degrees of freedom. (more)

Math Unites The Celestial And The Atomic

There is an almost perfect parallel between the mathematics describing celestial mechanics and the mathematics governing some aspects of atomic physics. (more)

Energized Mathematics

Tech physics professor Mike Schatz and Mischaikow will collaborate with researchers from George Mason and Florida Atlantic universities in the three-year project. (more)

Study Shows Thermal Dependence of Water Bridges

Keep cool to reduce friction (more)

Research Shows How Water May Enhance Catalysis

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have uncovered important evidence that explains how water, usually an inhibitor of catalytic reactions, can sometimes promote them. (more)

Physicists Entangle Photon and Atom in Atomic Cloud


Quantum communication networks show great promise in becoming a highly secure communications system. (more)

Like the Famous Doughboy, Nanotubes Give When Poked

Using an atomic force microscope, researchers from the School of Physics prodded the nanotubes to see how much they give.  (more)

Uzi Landman wins the APS 2005 Aneesur Rahman
Prize for Computational


This fall, Uzi Landman was honored for pioneering work with the 2005 Aneesur Rahman Prize for Computational Physics.  (more)

Scientists Unlock Secrets Behind Nanotube Formation

Nanotubes are ubiquitous in the world of science. Although several methods for making them exist, little is known about how these techniques physically produce the hollow fibers of carbon molecules known as nanotubes, that is until now.  (more)
