Steve Ditko's talent and career on such comics has become deservedly well known, but it's Joe Gill's part in this tale that interests me in the case of Captain Atom's origin story and early saga.

NASA’s Cold Atom Lab, shown where it’s installed aboard the International Space Station, recently demonstrated the use of a tool called an atom interferometer that can precisely measure gravity and ...

NASA’s Cold Atom Laboratory, a facility for fundamental physics experiments on the International Space Station, recently underwent a major hardware upgrade with the help of astronauts Christina Koch ...

NASA’s Cold Atom Lab is a first-of-its-kind physics laboratory operating in Earth orbit. About the size of a mini-fridge, it hosts multiple experiments that explore the fundamental nature of atoms by ...

Mixed Reality headsets aren’t only for playing VR games on Earth: The astronauts aboard the International Space Station are making use of an Augmented Reality (AR) system based on commercial Microsoft ...

A new study describes how the mission became the first to make a fifth state of matter in Earth orbit. This month marks 25 years since scientists first produced a fifth state of matter, which has ...

A quantum gas with two types of atoms has been remotely created in a microgravity environment. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

High-precision space-based gyroscopes are important in space science research and space engineering applications. In fundamental physics research, they can be used to test the general relativity ...

At 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday, January 1, 1963, I sat in front of a television cathode-ray tube in a household in Tokyo, Japan.

Extremely precise measurements are possible using atom interferometers that employ the wave character of atoms for this purpose. They can thus be used, for example, to measure the gravitational field ...
