 Vienna, Austria (SPX) Feb 03, 2020 
It is well known that quantum properties of individual atoms can be controlled and manipulated by laser light. Even large clouds of hundreds of millions of atoms can be pushed into the quantum regime, giving rise to macroscopic quantum states of matter such as quantum gases or Bose-Einstein condensates, which nowadays are also widely used in quantum technologies.
An exciting next step is t ... more |

 Tempe AZ (SPX) Jan 14, 2020 
If you jump out of bed too quickly, you might feel a bit light-headed.
That's because when you're lying down, gravity causes your blood to pool in the lower parts of your body rather than in your brain. Fortunately, when you stand up, within a fraction of a second, your heart begins beating faster, moving the blood to your brain and allowing you to maintain your balance.
The opposite ... more |
