With electronics components getting ever smaller, quantum technology presents new opportunities for miniaturization. Soon a new quantum sensor will be able to measure the tiny magnetic fields of the ...

Since at least 2016, a rumor has circulated online that "a speck of dust is halfway between the size of" an atom and Earth. However, Wendy Taylor, a particle physicist and professor of physics and ...

Babak Saif and Lee Feinberg at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, have shown for the first time that they can dynamically detect subatomic- or picometer-sized distortions — ...

There is an adage that says that data will expand to fill all available capacity. Perhaps 10 or 20 years ago, it was common to stockpile software programs, MP3 music, films, and other files, which may ...

Atom interferometers are quantum sensors that use the wave-like nature of atoms to measure gravity, acceleration and rotation with exceptional precision. Most of the current atom interferometers are ...

(Nanowerk News) Integrated circuitry is becoming increasingly complex. These days a Pentium processor contains some 30 million transistors. And the magnetic structures found in hard drives measure ...

A speck of dust measures halfway between the size of an atom and Earth. Rating: Since at least 2016, a rumor has circulated online that "a speck of dust is halfway between the size of" an atom and ...
