To date, physicists have wrestled small objects such as clouds of millions of atoms, or nanogram-scale objects, into such pure quantum states. Now for the first time, scientists at MIT and ...

“Now we know that nanoscale objects can emit and absorb radiation much more effectively than we ever thought was possible,” Qazilbash said. Qazilbash added that it’s not only a revelation for ...

"Small objects also challenge the scale by which we measure ourselves anew." Lastly, scale buildings contain stories, places, and emotions. It is an abstract matter to address object-experience ...

One way to try to fit the pieces together is to observe how small objects interact with gravity. Markus Aspelmeyer at the University of Vienna in Austria and his colleagues have taken this to the ...

Tractor beams have long been a staple of sci-fi, but you might not know that they’ve also existed in the real world for some time, albeit at a very small scale. Microscopic tractor beams ...
