If an atomic physicist like Nathan Lundblad could slip the surly bonds of Earth’s gravitational pull, what kind of experiment would he dream up? About a decade ago, that very question was posed to ...
A new computational method allows modern atomic models to learn from experimental thermodynamic data, according to a ...
In March 2018, researchers launched what looks like a white, cooler-sized fridge to the International Space Station. That heavy box houses a $100 million facility known as the Cold Atom Laboratory, ...
Researchers from the Department of Physics and the University Institute of Materials at the University of Alicante (UA) and the Low Temperature and High Magnetic Field Laboratory at the Autonomous ...
Cold atom experiments trap atoms to probe quantum effects, enabling ultra-precise sensing, timekeeping, and monitoring of Earth and space phenomena. (Nanowerk News) Cold atom experiments are among the ...
EUROPE — Every clock in your house probably tells a slightly different time. Now picture those clocks as the most precise instruments humanity has ever built, so accurate that they wouldn’t lose or ...
While many Earth-based experiments have been run to try to detect dark matter, the mysterious substance remains elusive. Now physicists have proposed a new experiment that would try to find signals by ...
