Raising the energy state of an atom's nucleus using a laser, or exciting it, would enable development of the most accurate atomic clocks ever to exist. This has been hard to do because electrons, ...
Collisions have consequences. Everyone knows that. Whether it's between trains, planes, automobiles or atoms, there are always repercussions. But while macroscale collisions may have the most obvious ...
Physicists at MIT have developed a new way to probe inside an atom's nucleus, using the atom's own electrons as "messengers" within a molecule. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news ...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has released NASA Research Announcement (NRA) NNH13ZTT002N, entitled “Research Opportunities in Fundamental Physics.” This NRA solicits ...
(Nanowerk News) Atomic and close-to-atomic scale manufacturing (ACSM) represents the processing techniques for high-end products, which requires not only the atomic-level manufacturing precision and ...
Imagine ditching the bathroom scales and instead weighing yourself with a watch. That’s now possible, in principle at least, following the creation of the first clock with a tick that depends on the ...
When an atom collides with a molecule, traditional wisdom said the atom had to strike one end of the molecule hard to deliver energy to it. People thought a glancing blow from an atom would be useless ...
