Chip-scale cold atom experiments could unleash the power of quantum science in the field

Cold atom experiments are among the most powerful and precise ways of investigating and measuring the universe and exploring the quantum world. By trapping atoms and exploiting their quantum ...

The world's first nuclear clock just ticked on — and it could help detect a fifth fundamental force of physics

By using a rare thorium nucleus as a timekeeper, physicists have demonstrated the first working nuclear clock, a device that ...

Atomic clocks may be powerful enough to detect the quantum fabric of time

Merging nuclear physics experiments and astronomical observations to advance equation-of-state research

For most stars, neutron stars and black holes are their final resting places. When a supergiant star runs out of fuel, it expands and then rapidly collapses on itself. This act creates a neutron ...

Physicists Just Built the First-Ever Nuclear Clock

But physicists have long dreamt of even better clocks that run on atomic nuclei, which are less sensitive to environmental ...
