One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer ...

He worked to develop an atomic clock that is essential to global positioning systems and helped confirm a rare state of ...

Twisted materials—known as moiré structures—have revolutionized modern physics, emerging as today's "alchemy" by creating ...

Knowable Magazine reports on attosecond science, revealing how scientists study atomic interactions at unbelievable speeds to ...

A new study suggests that one viable approach to address this extreme complexity is to conceptualize living matter as a cascade of machines producing machines.

Scientists have proposed a new way to discover the nature of dark matter: using ultraprecise atomic clocks to monitor the quantum vibrations of atoms near the sun.

Researchers propose sending atomic clocks to space to uncover the nature of dark matter A trip to the sun could reveal “ultralight” dark matter if it exists, study says A new study proposes sending an ...

Studying an atomic clock on-board a spacecraft inside the orbit of Mercury and very near to the Sun could be the trick to uncovering the nature of dark matter.

But this unusual matter formed at the birth of the atomic age also raises important questions about the nature of all matter in the universe. What are quasicrystals, and why were they “forbidden?” ...

Engineering matter at the atomic level Date: May 25, 2021 Source: RIKEN Summary: Researchers have developed a way to use a 'dry transfer technique' -- a technique that uses no solvent -- to ...

Quantum mechanics is baffling. On the atomic and subatomic scale, matter seems to behave in ways that we, in the macro world, would generally think of as impossible. Particles can exist in two ...

Speckle patterns are a manifestation of decoherence and can result from two-particle interference. Here, the authors image atomic speckle for guided matter waves and link this to atom bunching in ...
