Scientists are using atomic clocks to investigate some of the universe's greatest mysteries, including the nature of dark matter, in a laboratory. In the process, they say they're bringing cosmology ...

For amateur atom fans, a group of scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory offered last week a “continuous cloud chamber.” Based on a ten-year-old but neglected idea, it is simple enough, say the ...

ALBANY, New York, April 12, 2024 (ENS) – The world’s most exciting cutting-edge Electron-Ion Collider, expected to generate fresh insights into the structure and behavior of atomic particles, will be ...

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

The first method of counting atomic particles was by “scintillations.” Using a microscope, early atomic physicists counted the tiny flashes of light that are made by particles from radium as they hit ...

Chinese scientists are searching for signs of the world's most elusive particles. The search has taken these scientists almost a mile beneath the ocean's surface, where they hope to catch glimpses of ...

David Benoit receives funding from the European Union, the Science and Technology Facilities Council and the UKRI National Quantum Computing Centre. James Keegans receives funding from the European ...

A new physics result two decades in the making has found a surprisingly complex path for the production of strange matter within atoms. “This data is the first time we study the lambda in the [atomic] ...

The use of atomic clocks could help bring cosmology and astrophysics "down to Earth" by allowing scientists to investigate the mysteries of dark energy and dark matter in the lab. When you purchase ...
