Extremely precise measurements are possible using atom interferometers that employ the wave character of atoms for this purpose. They can thus be used, for example, to measure the gravitational field ...
Assuming dark matter exists, its interactions with ordinary matter are so subtle that even the most sensitive instruments cannot detect them. In a new study, Northwestern University physicists now ...
A team of scientists has managed to successfully perform atom interferometry in space - on board a sounding rocket. Extremely precise measurements are possible using atom interferometers that employ ...
