Quantum timekeeping has reached a new threshold, with trapped-ion clocks now accurate to the 19th decimal place and a ...

Keeping perfect time is far trickier than it sounds. The world’s best clocks that ...

Researchers discovered unexpected atomic ordering in a tantalum tungsten selenium crystal, linking self organization and ...

Once considered an oddity of quantum physics, time crystals could be a good building block for accurate clocks and sensors, ...

Your science textbook likely told you that matter exists in four states. You know them as solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. For generations, this understanding formed the foundation of physics. Now, a ...

At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow simple rules, but when they interact together, entirely new behaviors can ...

Beryllium ions might help in the hunt for dark matter. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Using a quirk of quantum mechanics, ...

In some solid materials under specific conditions, mutual Coulomb interactions shape electrons into many-body correlated states, such as Wigner crystals, which are essentially solids made of electrons ...

Superconductors (materials that conduct electricity without resistance) have fascinated physicists for more than a century. While conventional superconductors are well understood, a new class of ...

For over two decades, physicists have been working toward implementing quantum light storage—also known as quantum memory—in various matter systems. These techniques allow for the controlled and ...
