According to an announcement made today, December 16, we may be a short distance away from discovering entirely new states of matter, as well as laws of physics that have never been observed before. The prediction is rooted in a decades-old theory.Vitaly Efimov, now based at the University of Washington in the US, wa... |

Speaking at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) on Monday, experts revealed a troublesome fact about Chernobyl, the Ukrainian nuclear power plant that blew up in 1986. Recent measurements in the exclusion zone, where no humans can go without protective equipment, have revealed that the radioact... |

According to a new series of scientific experiments, it may be that quantum entanglement, one of the hottest topics in physics today, is connected to the chaos theory. Physicists came to this conclusion after a series of research studies, in which they analyzed the properties and behavior of cesium atoms, under vario... |

Quantum physics is a remarkable field of research for new ideas and technologies that could benefit mankind, as soon as you learn how to get over the fact that just about everything in it doesn't make sense. Particles exist in two states at the same time, and they can communicate with each other over incredibly ... |

Over the last half century, cesium 133 atomic clocks have been all the rage in time keeping. They were very reliable even when they first appeared, when they could be as accurate as not missing a single beat in 300 years. Over the years, and up until today, this precision has been considerably refined, in that a mode... |

National Institute for Standards and Technology researchers remain at the spearhead of atomic clocks design by creating what is known to be the most accurate time keeping device in the world. In 2004 NIST further enhanced atomic clocks by creating one on a chip a hundred times smaller than the previous atomic clock d... |

Some of the first atomic clocks were actually masers, commonly known as microwave lasers, that had additional equipments attached to them. Today, however, some of the most accurate atomic clocks work on the principle of atomic absorption spectroscopy of cold atoms. In fact, time is defined in the International System... |
