The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons. It would seem, therefore, that it should not be difficult to reproduce ...

The University of Wisconsin’s physics department was recognized for its experimentation and creation of one of the most highly-efficient atomic clocks ever. The optical lattice atomic clock is behind ...

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.

An international research team has found evidence of the existence of an exotic atomic nucleus state in an experiment at the ...

Nearly every object we interact with in our lives has a mass, but where does this mass come from? Modern physics says matter ...

Cold atom experiments trap atoms to probe quantum effects, enabling ultra-precise sensing, timekeeping, and monitoring of Earth and space phenomena. (Nanowerk News) Cold atom experiments are among the ...

Yuri Ralchenko led one of the oldest teams at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The fate of some experiments hangs in the air. Lost Science Yuri Ralchenko led one of the oldest teams ...

Scientists have demonstrated that atoms can exhibit wave-like behavior, challenging long-held assumptions that experiments of this nature were impossible and opening new doors in quantum physics. The ...

Alloys created by mixing three atomic species (medium-entropy alloys, or MEAs) or five species or more (high-entropy alloys, or HEAs) have emerged as hot properties in materials science. In metallurgy ...
