Physicists at the University of Oxford have successfully linked two atomic clocks through quantum entanglement for the first time. The feat can help make these clocks so precise that they begin to ...

In the 18th century, the scientific world was drunk on Newtonian certainty. The universe was a clockwork mechanism, ...

Next-generation atomic timekeeping techniques could push new frontiers in quantum physics, according to a new study. Atomic clocks are essential elements in GPS and other navigation systems — and a ...

AMES, Iowa – Let’s see, thought James Vary, how can we have a little fun with the name of our $1 million nuclear physics project? Hmm, can we work in the term hack? So, it’s “Nuclei and Hadrons with ...

DURHAM, N.C. – Researchers at Duke University have implemented a quantum-based method to observe a quantum effect in the way light-absorbing molecules interact with incoming photons. Known as a ...

SQUIRE aims to detect exotic spin-dependent interactions using quantum sensors deployed in space, where speed and ...

New method simulates electronic friction effects on quantum motion, explaining hydrogen diffusion on copper with relevance to catalysis and energy storage. (Nanowerk News) George Trenins and Mariana ...

Ever since Max Planck introduced the idea of the quantum to the world, physicists have argued about whether reality is more like sand or water. Planck’s famous 1900 discovery that energy is grainy — ...
