Image: This colorized scanning electron micrograph shows a cube of germanium attached to a membrane. The four small light blue rectangles at the midpoints of the membrane perimeter are chip-scale ...

A new type of cooling relies on an exotic quantum mechanical property rather than putting objects into cold environments like refrigerators – and it might one day help us chill things to temperatures ...

In the last few decades, physicists have found ways to super-cool objects so that their atoms are at a near standstill, wrestling small objects such as clouds of millions of atoms, or nanogram-scale ...
