In a groundbreaking experiment, scientists have built a quantum system where energy flows freely without ever slowing down.

This efficiency challenge is caused by diffuser plates, sometimes called showerheads, used during semiconductor processing.

For two centuries, students have learned that heat flows and engines work according to rigid limits that no machine can beat.

Researchers at TU Wien have discovered a quantum system where energy and mass move with perfect efficiency. In an ultracold ...

One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists to understand for the first time how and why certain materials conduct ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...

Repeatedly energising a collection of ultracold atoms should destroy their collective structure, but quantum effects seem to counteract the process. “We expected to see the opposite,” says Nӓgerl. The ...
