Quantum sensors can be significantly more precise than conventional sensors and are used for Earth observation, navigation, ...

Captain America’s star-spangled shield can stand up against the universe’s most powerful forces all thanks to vibranium. This ...

Prof. Dan Shechtman of the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology made the discovery that would later earn him the 2011 ...

A technology once feared too error-prone to underlie a quantum computer is hitting the big time.

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement. They have developed a new technique that uses atoms as highly precise ...

To create the thermometer, researchers filled a vacuum chamber with a gas of rubidium atoms and used lasers and magnetic ... new class of thermometers but is particularly significant for atomic clocks ...

In the current study, Regal and her colleagues set out to do just that—with the aid of a small chamber containing about a hundred billion rubidium atoms ... its internal structure will wiggle—a sort ...

enlarging them roughly 1,000 times compared to standard rubidium atoms. Rydberg atoms are uniquely sensitive to external influences because their outermost electrons are far from the atomic core. This ...

Meanwhile, International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi has reported that the IAEA has lost continuity of knowledge with regard to important equipment and materials in ...

Microchip has combined a chip-scale caesium atomic clock for good accuracy with a ovened crystal oscillator for good phase noise, in a through-hole package measuring 0.4 x 50.4 x 12.7mm (2 x 2 x ...

It also has a precise atomic clock called the Rubidium Atomic Frequency Standard (RAFS) for accurate timekeeping. The satellite will replace an older NavIC satellite, IRNSS-1E, and be positioned ...

When you first enter a new world, you can either spawn near a structure or find one while exploring any of the three dimensions. While finding some can be quite easy, others are extremely hard to ...
