Scientists have made leaps and bounds in bending atoms to their will, making them into everything from ultraprecise clocks to ...

Researchers from CIC nanoGUNE, in collaboration with the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) and the Center for ...

In a first, researchers from the U.S. and Germany excite Thorium-229 in opaque material, advancing optical nuclear clocks.

Scientists create a record 19.2-attosecond soft X-ray pulse, capturing electron motion in real time for the first time.

Traditionally, X-ray methods require at least 10,000 atoms to generate a detectable signal. This is because the X-ray signal ...

In the decade since the last AMO survey, there have been considerable advances in AMO science. These advances have fundementally changed not only this field buthave also strengthened its impact and ...

New high-precision mass measurements of phosphorus-26 and sulfur-27 have clarified how nuclear reactions unfold during explosive X-ray bursts on neutron stars (Artist’s concept). Credit: ...

There’s a lot to be said about unapologetically single-player games like Atomic Heart: its entire focus is on creating an intricate world for us to explore and discover for ourselves. An eye-catching ...

The universe is built on harmonies. The Pythagoreans had it right when they married mathematics, music, and the cosmos. Just as mathematical patterns underlie the musical scales and intervals most ...

On August 6, 1945, the sky above the Japanese city of Hiroshima opened. A blinding flash, then a deafening sonic boom. An entire city pulverized in seconds. Thus began the nuclear age. Today, 80 years ...

From nearly indestructible metals, like tungsten, to delicate clouds in the sky, atoms make up everything around us. But do these atoms ever touch each other? As with most topics in atomic physics, ...
