Results from string theory, generalizing the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence, may offer a fresh set of mathematical tools for understanding some kinds of phase transitions that ...

Most of the atomic clocks in the world — fewer than 500 in total — are housed at standards institutes and used to keep time for the planet. But the one inside UC Berkeley’s Kolkowitz Lab has a ...
Atomic and molecular physics addresses the structure and interactions of atoms and molecules, uniting quantum theory with experimental observation to explain phenomena from spectral lines to collision ...
Precision extreme ultraviolet spectroscopy of highly charged ions has revealed that the lutetium nucleus is smaller than ...
Quantum effects can nearly double the precision of a state-of-the-art optical atomic clock, a finding that could allow the devices to search for possible fluctuations in fundamental constants of the ...
Vincenzo is an associate professor and the head of the Sustainable Optoelectronics Research Group at Simon Fraser University, Canada. His research focuses on printable semiconductors and their ...
Take a second and turn it into trillions of moments. Measure each one. That's how precisely an atomic clock at Singapore's Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) keeps time—and with record-setting ...
Many atomic nuclei have a magnetic field similar to that of Earth. However, directly at the surface of a heavy nucleus such as lead or bismuth, it is trillions of times stronger than Earth's field and ...
