Physicists working on the MIGDAL experiment reported the first direct evidence of the Migdal effect in January 2026, ...

Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Biophysics and Physicobiology how to optimize high-speed atomic force microscopy experiments on live cell membranes, so that moving objects like molecules ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...

The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons. It would seem, therefore, that it should not be difficult to reproduce ...

The University of Wisconsin’s physics department was recognized for its experimentation and creation of one of the most highly-efficient atomic clocks ever. The optical lattice atomic clock is behind ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

Yuri Ralchenko led one of the oldest teams at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The fate of some experiments hangs in the air. Lost Science Yuri Ralchenko led one of the oldest teams ...

Optical tweezer arrays 1,2 have transformed atomic and molecular physics experiments by simplifying detection and enabling individual-particle control 25,26,27, resulting in rapid, recent progress in ...

To be useful, clocks need to be consistent. Imagine two spies who synchronize their watches; they rely on them agreeing days or months later, even if one of them must take a frigid hike through arctic ...
