Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This ...

For quantum computers to outperform their classical counterparts, they need more quantum bits, or qubits. State-of-the-art ...

For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more ...

How atomic-layer deposition and hybrid dielectrics are redefining reliability and scaling for AI-era semiconductors.

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

Atomic clocks use quantum physics and the resonant frequency of atoms, like cesium, to define time. Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by ...

Atomic bombs work via a process called nuclear fission that involves atom splitting. Shortly after scientists discovered nuclear fission, the possibility of a bomb was quickly realized. Albert ...
