How to rebuild an atomic clock
Atomic clocks are crucial for everyday living as they help our telecommunications, electrical power grids, GPS systems, transportation, and other processes around the world keep precise time. Some of these clocks use lasers and special resonator cavi.....»»
Study uncovers the fundamental mechanisms underlying the formation of polarons in 2D atomic crystals
Polarons are localized quasiparticles that result from the interaction between fermionic particles and bosonic fields. Specifically, polarons are formed when individual electrons in crystals distort their surrounding atomic lattice, producing composi.....»»
Russia Is Powering Up a Giant Laser to Test Its Nuclear Weapons
To check that atomic weapons work, scientists run simulations of explosions using high-energy lasers—and Russia is building the strongest one of all......»»
US to boost chip collaboration, help India play larger role in global supply chain
Amid the US's strategy to rebuild a global supply chain that counts on friendshoring, the US will scale up its semiconductor collaboration with India and invite India to be part of the IPEF (Indo-Pacific Economic Framework)......»»
Electrocatalysis under the atomic force microscope
A further development in atomic force microscopy now makes it possible to simultaneously image the height profile of nanometer-fine structures as well as the electric current and the frictional force at solid-liquid interfaces. A team from the Helmho.....»»
The Pingo Clock Tells Time With Color
Clocks are an all time favorite subject when it comes to the creativity of makers. We see all kinds pass through our inbox. This one in particular seemed like a wonderfully colorful departure from the norm. The Pingo Clock tells time by shifting col.....»»
Fastly Managed Security Service protects enterprises from web application attacks
Fastly introduced Fastly Managed Security Service, a service for threat detection and response available around the clock, aimed at assisting businesses in mitigating the risk of web application attacks and minimizing the costs incurred due to lost t.....»»
Testing the universality of the Feynman-Tan relation in interacting Bose gases using high-order Bragg spectra
The Feynman-Tan relation, obtained by combining Feynman energy relation with Tan's two-body contact, explained excitation spectra of strongly interacting quantum gases of 39K atoms. However, whether Feynman-Tan relation is universal for other atomic.....»»

How NASA"s Roman Space Telescope will rewind the universe
A new simulation shows how NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will turn back the cosmic clock, unveiling the evolving universe in ways that have never been possible before when it launches by May 2027. With its ability to rapidly image enormous.....»»
Plant and animal species that adapt quickly to city life are more likely to survive, finds research
It's five o'clock on a summer morning in Winnipeg. Our research team is unloading a series of small traps from the trunk of our car, which is parked on a residential road. Using a stick, we slather peanut butter from a huge jar into each trap as bait.....»»
New strategy developed for synthesis of copper nanoclusters
Due to exact atomic composition and crystal structure, atomically precise copper nanoclusters are used as model catalysts for catalytic reaction mechanisms study. However, the efficient synthesis of copper nanoclusters still remains challenging......»»
How to make a nuclear clock tick
While not primarily useful for telling the time, nuclear clocks could allow scientists to test humankind's fundamental understanding of how reality works......»»
Shape-shifting experiment challenges interpretation of how cadmium nuclei move
Atomic nuclei take a range of shapes, from spherical (like a basketball) to deformed (like an American football). Spherical nuclei are often described by the motion of a small fraction of the protons and neutrons, while deformed nuclei tend to rotate.....»»
Exploring chaos on the nanometer scale
Chaotic behavior is typically known from large systems: for example, from weather, from asteroids in space that are simultaneously attracted by several large celestial bodies, or from swinging pendulums that are coupled together. On the atomic scale,.....»»
No One Knows If Decades-Old Nukes Would Actually Work
Atomic weapons are highly complex, surprisingly sensitive, and often pretty old. With testing banned, countries have to rely on good maintenance and simulations to trust their weapons work......»»
