Time already behaves strangely in modern physics. It can stretch, slow, and split depending on speed and gravity.

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Research led by The University of Manchester has found that ions diffuse 10,000 times faster inside atomically thin clays than in bulk clay crystals. Clays are used in a wide variety ...

Internal energy levels of a single atom represent nature’s perfect qubit – the quantum two-level system that is the building block of quantum computing technology. At the Duke Quantum Center, we trap ...
