If GPS goes dark, this atomic clock could keep the world running
This Portable Atomic Clock Maintained Accurate Time on a Rolling Ship at Sea In A Nutshell Australian physicists built a ...
The simplicity of a hydrogen atom makes it an ideal model for studying atomic structure and interactions. Yet, despite the ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) At the scale of individual atoms, materials behave in ways that defy everyday intuition. Stretch a metal wire by a few micrometers and its resistance changes only slightly.
In this system, an external electric field shifts the direction of the atomic quantization axis. This shift changes how atoms ...
Atomic bombs work via a process called nuclear fission that involves atom splitting. Shortly after scientists discovered nuclear fission, the possibility of a bomb was quickly realized. Albert ...

Swapping one atom can cut heat flow through a molecule by half
Swapping a single atom can fine-tune the thermal conductance of single-molecule junctions without affecting their electrical ...
Most clocks, from wristwatches to the systems that run GPS and the internet, work by tracking regular, repeating motions.
