Quantum physics bends thermodynamics at atom level
Recent research reveals that quantum mechanics can supersede the second law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale, ...
The nucleus of an atom is now the modern version of sand flowing through an hourglass. Researchers have spent 15 years trying to increase accuracy in timekeeping. The U.S. standard currently relies on ...
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 ...
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 ...
"Atomic clocks bring cosmology and astrophysics down to Earth, enabling searches for ultra-light particles that could explain dark matter in a laboratory." When you purchase through links on our site, ...
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.
