Tiny intrinsic time fluctuations could limit ultimate clock precision: Study
A study by physicists affiliated with the Foundational Questions Institute (FQxI) found that time ...
A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...
A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...
Physicists at the University of Oxford have successfully linked two atomic clocks through quantum entanglement for the first time. The feat can help make these clocks so precise that they begin to ...
Editor’s Note: Professor WERNER HEISENBERG, who was born in Duisburg in 1901, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932 for his work on the quantum theory. A member of the faculty of the ...
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 ...
An obscure theory of elementary particles proved to be key to China’s re-emergence as a scientific nation after the Cultural ...
