Ultracold atoms in space will let us stress test Einstein's relativity
Short Sharp Science,
Potassium and rubidium atoms aboard the International Space Station have been cooled almost to absolute zero to put a…

Extremely precise measurements are possible using atom interferometers that employ the wave character of atoms for this purpose.
Atom interferometry is the technique that underlies most of our precision measurements using atom interferometers. Using this…
This is so so so cool.
