An analog of the dynamical Casimir effect has been achieved, where phonons replace photons and thermal fluctuations replace vacuum fluctuations.

Ultracold atoms could be used to simulate physical phenomena beyond three spatial dimensions.

Precision measurements of the electron magnetic moment in hydrogenlike silicon provide a stringent test of bound-state quantum electrodynamics.

The experimental realization of quantum degenerate cold Fermi gases with large hyperfine spins opens up a new opportunity for exotic many-body physics.

Is there a fundamental lower bound on viscosity? To answer this question, we can look at the coldest and hottest fluids that laboratories are able to produce.

A huge, predicted atomic parity violation has now been observed in ytterbium, further aiding tabletop experimental searches for physics beyond the standard model that complement ongoing efforts at high-energy colliders.

Monopoles with a single magnetic charge could be simulated in Bose-Einstein condensates

Measuring quantum interference of atomic matter waves may help detect experimental signatures of a fundamental theory of physics.
