Every time you check the time on your phone, make an online transaction, or use a navigation app, you are depending on the precision of atomic clocks. Go to Source
Imagine zooming into matter at the quantum scale, where tiny particles can interact in more than a trillion configurations at once. Go to Source
Cornell researchers have built a programmable optical chip that can change the color of light by merging photons, without requiring a new chip for new colors. Go to Source
For decades, scientists have observed, but been unable to explain, a phenomenon seen in some soft materials: When force is applied, these materials exhibit not one, but two spikes in energy dissipation, known as overshoots. Because overshoots are generally thought to...
For decades, it’s been known that subtle chemical patterns exist in metal alloys, but researchers thought they were too minor to matter—or that they got erased during manufacturing. However, recent studies have shown that in laboratory settings, these patterns...
