Time already behaves strangely in modern physics. It can stretch, slow, and split depending on speed and gravity.
About a decade ago, physicists put forward a theory that proposes how to investigate the quantum nature of time. It can be ...
The most precise clocks ever built can now detect gravity’s warping of time across a distance shorter than a pencil tip. That ...
James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...
If an atomic physicist like Nathan Lundblad could slip the surly bonds of Earth’s gravitational pull, what kind of experiment would he dream up? About a decade ago, that very question was posed to ...
The results are an important stress test for theories and future experiments in atomic physics. 1.97007 femtometre (quadrillionths of a metre): That’s how unimaginably tiny the radius of the atomic ...
In March 2018, researchers launched what looks like a white, cooler-sized fridge to the International Space Station. That heavy box houses a $100 million facility known as the Cold Atom Laboratory, ...
Cold atom experiments trap atoms to probe quantum effects, enabling ultra-precise sensing, timekeeping, and monitoring of Earth and space phenomena. (Nanowerk News) Cold atom experiments are among the ...
