Learn about how Mark Raizen and his team at UT Austin have developed the world's highest resolution atom lens. An atom lens is analogous to a glass lens used in an optical microscope or magnifying ...

Scientists tracked an atom's nuclear spin in real time with a tunneling microscope, finding it stable for seconds, opening paths to better magnetic control. (Nanowerk News) Researchers from Delft ...

A simple technique allows a high-tech microscope to sense an individual atom’s spin, the microscopic equivalent of a bar magnet’s magnetic axis and a crucial component of a material’s magnetic and ...

Physicists in Germany are on the road to making an atom microscope, which uses atoms rather than light to explore the microworld. Their development of lenses and mirrors to sharpen atom laser beams ...

Artist impression, based on actual measurement data, of the nuclear spin of an atom flipping between distinct quantum states. The flipping was observed as a fluctuation in the electrical current ...
