The time is nigh for nuclear clocks. In a first, scientists have used a tabletop laser to bump an atomic nucleus into a higher energy state. It’s a feat that sets scientists on a path toward creating ...

Nobel Prize-winning physicist David Gross has issued a stark warning that humanity stands a slim chance of surviving another ...

The nucleus of an atom is now the modern version of sand flowing through an hourglass. Researchers have spent 15 years trying to increase accuracy in timekeeping. The U.S. standard currently relies on ...

A small nuclear revolution is coming to a data center near you According to the organizations, the agreement will see them ...

Most clocks, from wristwatches to the systems that run GPS and the internet, work by tracking regular, repeating motions.

Nuclear-powered alchemy could even be key to transitioning the world away from fossil fuels, according to one San Francisco ...

Atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) physics explores the quantum behaviour of electrons, atoms and light, and their mutual interactions across energy, length and time scales. In atoms and molecules, ...

Are you ready to be part of the next wave of energy innovators? The nuclear energy science certificate at the University of Wyoming offers a unique opportunity to dive deep into one of the most ...

Delve into the detail of atomic physics. As the basic units of matter, atoms are the building blocks for everything in the universe. Once thought to be indivisible, we now know they can indeed be ...
