Most clocks, from wristwatches to the systems that run GPS and the internet, work by tracking regular, repeating motions.

Chinese breakthrough in ultraviolet crystals could lead to navigation systems resistant to jamming ...

By directing pulses of laser light at atoms, researchers can study how radioactive elements decay in a matter of seconds. The ...

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.

Magnetic rotation and antimagnetic rotation represent distinct mechanisms by which atomic nuclei generate angular momentum in systems that exhibit little or no permanent quadrupole deformation. In ...

New experiments reveal possible η′-mesic nuclei, offering evidence that particle masses shift inside nuclear matter and shedding light on how mass originates from vacuum structure. Almost everything ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

For the first time, an international team of physicists has successfully harnessed a rare orbital transition in atoms of ytterbium to create a new type of atomic clock that is both highly precise and ...
