A research team from the Erich Schmid Institute of Materials Science, Austrian Academy of Sciences, has unveiled an approach ...

Scientists have made a significant breakthrough in understanding the growth of "white graphene" on metal substrates. This ...

Researchers have now found a way to make nuclear clocks a thousand times less radioactive and more cost-effective, thanks to ...

This technology offers a "safe and effective solution to a longstanding problem." Department of Energy expert reveals ...

A new high-tech atomic clock has been developed by scientists at the top-secret Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl). It is expected to be a leap forward for intelligence, surveillance ...

Addressing the boiling crisis—a situation in which quickly developing bubbles produce a vapor layer that prevents heat transfer—is one of the main priorities. In the research, they identified ...

One of my least favorite tropes of comic book storytelling is when an issue opens in the middle of an action-packed sequence before flashing back to some time before the proverbial excrement hits ...

(Corwin et al., 1998) implemented the dichroic atomic vapor laser lock (DAVLL) method for laser stabilization. In this technique, a known magnetic field applied on the atomic vapor cell splits the ...

Six months later, on June 17, 1967, China tested a full-yield device, producing an air-burst nuclear explosion with a yield of 3.3 megatons—more than 200 times that of the atomic bomb dropped on ...

This achievement, a world first, was the result of international collaboration with institutions like the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy ... a lithium vapor “cave” strategically ...

The stability of its D2 optical transition lends the atom well to atomic clocks; the atom’s sensitivity also makes it a popular choice for sensors and cold atom physics. By passing a laser through a ...
