Scientists Take a Major Leap Toward a ‘Perfect’ Quantum Metamaterial

Scientists have devised a way to build a “quantum metamaterial”—an engineered material with exotic properties not found in nature—using ultracold atoms trapped in an artificial crystal composed of light.

Seeing Atoms and Molecules in Action with an Electron ‘Eye’

A unique rapid-fire electron source—originally built as a prototype for driving next-generation X-ray lasers—will help scientists at Berkeley Lab study ultrafast chemical processes and changes in materials at the atomic scale.
