Physicists at MIT have developed a new way to probe inside an atom's nucleus, using the atom's own electrons as "messengers" ...

If you think of a single atom as a grain of sand, then a wavelength of visible light—which is a thousand times larger than ...

MIT researchers double the accuracy of optical atomic clocks by reducing quantum noise with an innovative laser technique.

Confining and rotating extremely cold atoms or molecules within atomic “Ferris wheels” made from laser light could test ...

Since then, its threat has shaped and justified global conflict. Both Iraq and Iran have been accused of seeking the bomb, ...

Scientists spotted the heavy water (which we'll get into in just a moment) in the planet-forming disk of gas and dust around ...

The first fusion reactions in a laboratory were achieved in 1934 — a major breakthrough at the time. Today, however, achieving a fusion reaction is not particularly difficult: in 2018, a ...

The chip-riding 2D flash memory array is able to communicate with the CMOS chip's control logic via a custom interface, which ...

There is no sign North Korea reprocessed spent fuel from its main nuclear reactor into plutonium in the past year, but it seems to have continued to enrich uranium, the other potential fuel for atom ...

Since the closing decades of the past century, researchers around the world have sought to precisely isolate, control and measure individual physical objects, such as single photons and atomic ions ..
