Physicists are getting closer to creating a long-sought ‘nuclear clock’. This device would keep time by measuring energy transitions in the nuclei of atoms and could become the most precise clock on ...
Over the past decades, quantum scientists have introduced various technologies that operate leveraging quantum mechanical effects, including quantum sensors, computers and memory devices. Most of ...
In a recent Nature paper, physicists attribute a molecular “film” of carbon to phenomena like. Theoretically speaking, volcanic ash—a gassy lump of collid ...
The United Nations' top nuclear watchdog, IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi, told CBS News that Iran still has the technical ability to restart its nuclear program, even though U.S. military strikes ...
Sen. Will Parkinson is concerned about the potential fallout effects to Guam over reports that Japan plans to designate its distant island of Minamitorishima as a potential final disposal site ...
Six thousand eight hundred feet below the floor of an active nickel mine in northern Ontario, something has gone extremely cold. Not cold in the way of a walk-in freezer, or a liquid nitrogen tank, or ...
Photothermal AFM-IR technology provides spatially resolved infrared spectroscopy for detailed compositional mapping of ...
A theoretical study posted to arXiv in early 2026 argues that magnetic skyrmions, tiny whirlpool-like spin textures inside magnets, can emerge from ordinary atomic-scale interactions rather than ...
Christen Civiletto's forthcoming book recounts the toxic history of Niagara Falls — and its personal impact on her and her ...
Photothermal AFM-IR combines atomic force microscopy and infrared spectroscopy to reveal chemical heterogeneity and structural features at the nanoscale.
