Phillips chats about quirky quantum phenomena such as entanglement and superposition and explains how they are exploited in atomic clocks and quantum computing. He also looks to the future of quantum ...

Atomic clocks have long been the gold standard for measuring time and frequency. Among them, optical clocks—using atoms like strontium or aluminum—have reached staggering levels of accuracy ...

(CNN) — For his Fall-Winter 2025 show at Paris Fashion Week, Dutch designer Duran Lantink continued to break the mold with his offbeat designs. Set in an office space that wouldn’t look out of place ...

Will you mail me a print copy of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists? Expand No, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists magazine is digital-only and has been since 2008. We do not print physical ...

In order to conduct the experiment, the pair loaded four ultra-precise atomic clocks onto two different aeroplanes flying in different directions. The clocks were then compared to another one on ...

This technology, called the 'microcomb chip,' could make optical atomic clocks, the most precise timekeepers in the world, compact enough for everyday use. Credit: Kaiyi Wu This breakthrough could ...

And you can imagine—this instrument called scanning tunneling microscope was used—when they looked at an atom and saw it using this very sharp ... clocks, clocks that are almost as good as ...

The findings appear in Nature Physics. Following transformative inventions like transistors, lasers, and atomic clocks, quantum entanglement is now driving a new wave of innovation, often called the ...

And yet, in the early 2000s, USAID administrator Andrew Natsios claimed that anti-retroviral drugs could not be distributed in Africa because Africans didn’t have clocks and couldn’t adhere to the ...

The Atomic Spectroscopy Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides the definitive measurements of atomic spectra. Spectra are specific sets of colors emitted by ...

The study is published in the journal Nature Physics. After the advent of transistors, lasers and atomic clocks, the entanglement of quantum objects—as varied as photons, electrons and ...
