Nuclear clocks could be the GOAT: Greatest of all timepieces. If physicists can build them, nuclear clocks would be a brand-new type of clock, one that would keep time based on the physics of atoms’ ...

Here's a novel pathway to a more sustainable planet: carbo-loading for the public good. In a new study published in Nature Synthesis, chemists at Yale and the University of California-Berkeley have ...

An atomic clock that could transform deep-space travel has successfully completed its first test run in space. NASA’s Deep Space Atomic Clock, which launched on a satellite in June 2019, outperformed ...

In their ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of quantum possibilities, physicists in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis have created a new type of "time crystal," a novel phase ...

Review of The Age of Radiance: The Epic Rise and Dramatic Fall of the Atomic Era, by Craig Nelson (Scribner 2014), 448 pages, ISBN- 978-1451660432 The Age of Radiance: The Epic Rise and Dramatic Fall ...

Researchers turned a paramagnetic material into a magnet by manipulating electrons' spin via atomic motion. Quantum materials hold the key to a future of lightning-speed, energy-efficient information ...
