By directing pulses of laser light at atoms, researchers can study how radioactive elements decay in a matter of seconds. The ...

TURIN, Italy, April 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- newcleo, in partnership with Politecnico di Torino, is proud to announce ...

Most clocks, from wristwatches to the systems that run GPS and the internet, work by tracking regular, repeating motions.

Magnetic rotation and antimagnetic rotation represent distinct mechanisms by which atomic nuclei generate angular momentum in systems that exhibit little or no permanent quadrupole deformation. In ...

Nuclear physics is the branch of science that examines the properties and behaviour of atomic nuclei, the densely packed assemblies of protons and neutrons held together by the strong interaction.

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 ...

For the first time, an international team of physicists has successfully harnessed a rare orbital transition in atoms of ytterbium to create a new type of atomic clock that is both highly precise and ...

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 ...

Ultraprecise clocks are more than scientific curiosities. They play key roles in navigation, communications and international ...
