One intriguing method that could be used to form the qubits needed for quantum computers involves electrons hovering above ...

Neutral helium microscopy and atom optics constitute an innovative imaging paradigm that exploits low-energy, charge-neutral helium atoms to non-destructively investigate surface properties at the ...

There Aldo Antognini's team generates so-called muonic helium-3, in which the two electrons of the helium atom are replaced by an elementary particle called a muon. This allows the nuclear radius to ...

For the first time, researchers from the PRISMA + Cluster of Excellence have determined the charge radius of helium-3 and thus also the exact difference to the radius of helium-4. This precision ...
