Particle physics research institutes are trying to simulate and research the behavior of sub-atomic particles. Because Pions consists of a particle and an antiparticle, they are very unstable.
Cold atoms are atoms that have been super-cooled to a less than one millionth of a degree above absolute zero (zero degrees Kelvin – the temperature at which atoms cease all movement). Under such supercooled conditions, the result is a new form of matter that is governed by quantum mechanics.
Microelectromechanical systems (otherwise known as MEMS) have evolved from their roots in lab research to everyday use, as their adoption in commercial and industrial applications grows. As MEMS technology advances, more advanced testing methods are needed in order to characterize the dynamics – such as vibration and displacement – of miniaturized mechanical and electro-mechanical devices.
