NASA's Cold Atom Lab Is Pushing Physics to the Limit

The Quark Side - Quantum Physics Podcast

A unique NASA experiment aboard the International Space Station is exploring some of the strangest phenomena in quantum physics.

By cooling atoms to temperatures near absolute zero in the weightlessness of space, scientists can study exotic states of matter with unprecedented precision. The research could unlock new insights into gravity, time, and the fundamental laws that govern the universe.
