Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does ...
In a study published in Nature Communications, a research team demonstrates the all-electrical control of quantum ...
A tomic clocks, which power GPS, online transactions, and data networks, just became more precise. MIT physicists have developed a technique that doubles the accuracy of optical atomic clocks by ...
Even if you’re one of the most precise physicists on the planet — as University of Delaware Professor Marianna Safronova is — you still will need collaborators whose skills complement your own and ...
Carnegie Mellon University Associate Professor Sufei Shi has been selected by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to be part of the 2025 cohort of Experimental Physics Investigators. He joins a ...
Atomic clocks. They almost sound like something out of science fiction, or an experiment confined to some elite physics lab, but in reality, they’ve been around since the 1950s in one form or another.
Physicists have made one of the highest performance atomic clocks ever. ­­ Their instrument, known as an optical lattice atomic clock, can measure differences in time to a precision equivalent to ...
The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by ...
