Editor’s Note: Professor WERNER HEISENBERG, who was born in Duisburg in 1901, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932 for his work on the quantum theory. A member of the faculty of the ...

A tomic clocks, which power GPS, online transactions, and data networks, just became more precise. MIT physicists have developed a technique that doubles the accuracy of optical atomic clocks by ...

A team of physicists from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw, the Center for New Technologies at the ...

MIT researchers found that a hidden atomic order can persist in metals even after they undergo extreme processing. For ...

Physicists at the University of Oxford have successfully linked two atomic clocks through quantum entanglement for the first time. The feat can help make these clocks so precise that they begin to ...

From the outside, the high-speed collisions of atomic nuclei inside particle accelerators like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may seem like they have very little in common with more mundane ...

MIT researchers found that metals retain hidden atomic patterns once believed to vanish during manufacturing. These patterns ...

A strong contender is wavelet theory, a mathematical framework that powers image and video compression across the digital ...
