A researcher at Tohoku University's Department of Physics discovered an unexpected quantum phenomenon concealed inside regular crystals: the intensity of electron-lattice vibration interactions, known ...

Thorium atomic nuclei can be used for very specific precision measurements. This had been suspected for decades, and the search for suitable atomic nucleus states had been ongoing worldwide. In 2024, ...

Introduction: The natural, tonotopic frequency distribution of the inner ear is typically described by the Greenwood function, which logarithmically projects the audible frequency spectrum onto the ...

UCLA physicists have developed a nuclear clock using thorium atoms, potentially the most accurate clock ever, which could redefine fundamental constants and advance precision in technology and science ...

Raising the energy state of an atom's nucleus using a laser, or exciting it, would enable development of the most accurate atomic clocks ever to exist. This has been hard to do because electrons, ...
