Scientists are using atomic clocks to investigate some of the universe's greatest mysteries, including the nature of dark matter, in a laboratory. In the process, they say they're bringing cosmology ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Basel have shown that quantum systems can have antagonistic interactions, too—one agent attracts the other, but the other way around, there is a repulsion. Such ...

ALBANY, New York, April 12, 2024 (ENS) – The world’s most exciting cutting-edge Electron-Ion Collider, expected to generate fresh insights into the structure and behavior of atomic particles, will be ...

"Atomic clocks bring cosmology and astrophysics down to Earth, enabling searches for ultra-light particles that could explain dark matter in a laboratory." When you purchase through links on our site, ...

Chinese scientists are searching for signs of the world's most elusive particles. The search has taken these scientists almost a mile beneath the ocean's surface, where they hope to catch glimpses of ...

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 ...

Since the Curie-Joliots of Paris discovered artificial radioactivity two years ago (TIME, Feb. 12, 1934), some 40 substances, including salt and copper, have been made radioactive by bombardment with ...
