“The mass and the antiparticle nature of neutrinos can be studied by measuring the radioactive beta and double-beta decays of ...

The latest optical atomic clocks use faster atoms such as ytterbium, which tick up to 100 trillion times per second. However, their stability has been restricted by quantum noise, ...

Optical clocks are highly precise timekeeping devices that measure time by tracking the oscillations of light, as opposed to ...

For decades, it's been known that subtle chemical patterns exist in metal alloys, but researchers thought they were too minor to matter—or that they got erased during manufacturing. However, recent ...

A lead halide material can detect and image single gamma-ray photons with both high-spatial and high-energy resolution ...

The results are an important stress test for theories and future experiments in atomic physics. 1.97007 femtometre (quadrillionths of a metre): That’s how unimaginably tiny the radius of the atomic ...

Nuclear physics is the branch of science that examines the properties and behaviour of atomic nuclei, the densely packed assemblies of protons and neutrons held together by the strong interaction.

On this day in Michigan history, October 7, 1965, Michigan State University’s new Cyclotron Laboratory accelerated its first beam of atomic particles.

Physicist Michel Devoret reflects on the skepticism that surrounded the early days of research on macroscopic quantum ...

Nobel Prize in physics goes to trio for research on the weird world of sub-atomic quantum tunneling that advances the power ...

According to Alfred Nobel's will, the Nobel Prize in Physics was to go to "the person who shall have made the most important discovery or invention within the field of physics." The prize has been ...
