An international team of researchers, including members from the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU, WPI), has directly observed "highly charged muonic ions," ...

Long-held assumptions tell us that atoms with the same number of protons, neutrons and electrons are indistinguishable, but ...

In a striking glimpse into extreme physics, scientists have captured the split-second chaos that unfolds when powerful laser ...

Exotic quantum rifts have been created with charged atoms, and they exist in a superposition of being in two places at once. This is a first step towards better understanding the behaviour of such ...
