Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have reported important progress in quantum physics and materials ...

In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Physicists are getting closer to creating a long-sought ‘nuclear clock’. This device would keep time by measuring energy ...

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number of protons equals the number of neutrons. For decades, these strange regions ...

In April 1989 the Soviet Navy’s nuclear submarine Komsomolets caught fire while cruising 335 m beneath the surface of the ...

Nuclear effect The deformed shape of the ytterbium-173 nucleus (right) makes it possible to excite the clock transition with a relatively low-power laser. The same transition is forbidden (left) if ...
