One of the most surprising predictions of physics is entanglement, a phenomenon where objects can be some distance apart but ...

The technology, enabled by thorium atoms, could keep time more accurately than atomic clocks and enable new discoveries about ...

Deep inside what we perceive as solid matter, the landscape is anything but stationary. The interior of the building blocks ...

The article indicates that the strong force reaches a maximum value. Can this predict the largest possible atomic nucleus?

Entanglement, a surprising physics prediction, links distant objects as though they are connected. Traditionally ...

MIT engineers have discovered promising new materials that could revolutionize proton conduction and lead to more ...

Deep inside what we perceive as solid matter, the landscape is anything but stationary. The interior of the building blocks of the atom's nucleus -- particles called hadrons that most of us would ...

Because used nuclear fuel can be recycled several times through a fast nuclear reactor, it is worth more than gold.

A recent breakthrough has paved the way for timekeeping even more precise than the measurements performed by atomic clocks.

F OR THE discerning timekeeper, only an atomic clock will do. Whereas the best quartz timepieces will lose a millisecond every six weeks, an atomic clock might not lose a thousandth of one in a decade ...

Researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, used precisely calibrated lasers to cool and slow down samples of positronium in a study that was published in Nature.

Most atoms are made from positively charged protons, neutral neutrons and negatively charged electrons. Positronium is an exotic atom composed of a single negative electron and a positively charged ...
