This hybrid platform enables a new class of experiments—ones that could finally let us test whether gravity needs to be described by quantum theory." The new paper demonstrates laser cooling of ...

Gravity kept us in our desks ... Deni Yang is back in the house, and there shall be a Mega Bubble Laser Show!, which sounds like something everybody ever might request to have at their birthday ...

Light is heavy. Powerful laser beams have a gravitational field, which warps the fabric of the universe around them and may help us understand how gravity behaves in the quantum realm. Most models ...

Similarly, Einstein’s theory of gravity predicts that matter and antimatter should fall to Earth at the same rate. Lab experiments dropping laser-cooled antiatoms — instead of warm ...

Precise calculations and gravity do the rest. In the new process, a laser beam moves across the surface of the glass with absolute precision, following a preprogrammed path. Every now and then, the ...
