The results are an important stress test for theories and future experiments in atomic physics. 1.97007 femtometer (quadrillionths of a meter): That's how unimaginably tiny the radius of the atomic ...

Molecules immersed in liquid helium can probe superfluidity since their electronic, vibrational and rotational dynamics can provide valuable cues about the superfluid at the nanoscale. In a new report ...
