Quantum magnetometers can detect incredibly small changes in magnetic fields by tapping into the strange and powerful features of quantum physics. These devices rely on the discrete nature and ...

At the quantum level, the past and the future are indiscernible. That could have profound effects on the world we can see.

A new study shows that electron spins—tiny magnetic properties of atoms that can store information—can be protected from ...

(NEXSTAR) — Roughly a month ago, most Americans lost an hour of precious Sunday sleep as daylight saving time began and our clocks jumped forward. The U.S. again could be on the precipice of ...

Understanding time at atomic levels, using ultra-precise optical lattice clocks, may provide new insights into this profound mystery and bring physics closer to resolving this fundamental paradox. 5-6 ...

In a wide-ranging conversation with Physics World’s Margaret Harris ... such as entanglement and superposition and explains how they are exploited in atomic clocks and quantum computing. He also looks ...

“It's a great, great optical clock to use in the tests of fundamental physics,” says Tofful. For example, there is a theory that the fundamental constants might not actually be ...

Physics World is the world's leading physics magazine. Every month it is sent to all members of the Institute of Physics, a leading scientific society that works to advance physics for the benefit of ...

When Aaron Leanhardt was a graduate student in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he was part of a research team that cooled sodium gas to the lowest temperature ever recorded ...
