Over the last few years, optical atomic clocks have broken record after record in precision timekeeping. Atoms are cooled to ...

Antiferromagnetic materials, with antiparallel atomic spins and zero net magnetization, are fast and resistant to external ...

For the first time, the state of an atomic nucleus was switched with a laser. For decades, physicists have been looking for such a nuclear transition -- now it has been found. This opens up a new ...

Materials called relaxor ferroelectrics have been used for decades in technologies like ultrasounds, microphones, and sonar ...

Graphene liquid cells have been used to study atoms dissolved in organic solvents at atomic-scale resolution. Through a combination of smarter material choices and machine learning techniques, a team ...

For Adam Piotr Pikul of the Polish Academy of Sciences, there is always more to understand about the basic physics of uranium ...

THE beautiful conception which inspires and co-ordinates practically the whole of modern atomic physics is the atomic model of Rutherford and Bohr. Its essential feature-the nucleus-was first put ...

Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces from Imperial College London. Tom ...

THE second volume of the Progress Reports issued by the Physical Society does not belie the promise of the first. It continues the method, initiated in the earlier volume, of a series of reports ...

A weird force that skirts traditional physics norms has helped erase a smudge on the foundations of particle physics. It’s a phenomenon called the “neutrino force,” by which neutrinos could ...

An international research team of the A1 Collaboration at the Mainz Microtron (MAMI) of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) has succeeded in determining the binding energy of the hypertriton ...

Through his research on carbon nanotubes, Professor Sumio Iijima redefined nanoscience, illustrating the importance of ...
