Although our Universe appears to be stable, it might just be in a temporary state of false calm that could rupture in the ...

Gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force. For decades, physicists have recognized exactly ...

Physicists are preparing to test whether atomic clocks can experience quantum superposition, ticking faster and slower simultaneously. The concept merges principles from quantum mechanics and ...

Over the last few years, optical atomic clocks have broken record after record in precision timekeeping. Atoms are cooled to ...

In quantum mechanics, particles do not behave like everyday objects. Instead of existing in one clearly defined state, they ...

Back-to-back events focusing on different forms of nuclear energy reveal sharp differences in mood as well as language taboos ...

A new method developed at LMU overcomes fundamental resolution limits and may provide insights into high-temperature superconductivity. The physicist Dr. Sebastian Paeckel has developed a method that ...

University of Washington professor of physics David Hertzog and UW research professor emeritus Peter Kammel are part of an international team that won ...

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we ...

Atomic clocks are already precise enough to measure tiny effects of relativity, such as time dilation; for example, if you ...

Few concepts in physics are as familiar, yet as enigmatic, as time. In Einstein's theory of relativity, time is not ...
