For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more accurate clocks: optical atomic clocks. In a few years' time, they could ...
A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

Tiny intrinsic time fluctuations could limit ultimate clock precision: Study
A study by physicists affiliated with the Foundational Questions Institute (FQxI) found that time ...
A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...
Editor’s Note: Professor WERNER HEISENBERG, who was born in Duisburg in 1901, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932 for his work on the quantum theory. A member of the faculty of the ...
Delve into the detail of atomic physics. As the basic units of matter, atoms are the building blocks for everything in the universe. Once thought to be indivisible, we now know they can indeed be ...
Physicists got their first look at the structure of the atomic nucleus. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The Geiger-Marsden ...
Photo: Niels Bohr's research notes for his new atomic theory Rutherford's find came from a very strange experience. Everyone at that time imagined the atom as a "plum pudding." That is, it was roughly ...
