Atom Computing describes itself as “a company obsessed with building the world’s most scalable quantum computers out of optically trapped neutral atoms.” The company recently revealed it had spent the ...

Using an ultra-stable laser to manipulate strontium atoms trapped in a "lattice" made of light, scientists at JILA (a joint institute of NIST and the University of Colorado at Boulder) have ...

If you paid attention in science class you know that atoms make up everything. They're the smallest unit of matter, and everything you've ever touched, felt, or breathed is made up of matter, include ...

Heralding a new age of terrific timekeeping, physicists have unveiled an experimental strontium atomic clock that has set new world records for both precision and stability -- key metrics for the ...

A quantum physicist at the University of Oxford, has captured a nearly impossible photo remarkable enough to win the overall price in a science photography competition. The Engineering and Physical ...

The tiny dot in the center of the screen, between the two metal electrodes, is the light emitted by a single atom. The photo, Single Atom in an Ion Trap, just won the grand prize in the UK's ...

When it goes online, the MAGIS-100 experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and its successors will explore the nature of gravitational waves and search for ...

Talk about the perils of atomic radiation has swelled in volume and intensity ever since the U.S. and Russia fired their much-publicized H-bombs in 1954. From public forums and presses all over the ...
