Keeping track of time seems simple. A watch ticks, a pendulum swings, and a calendar flips. But at the quantum level, marking time is far more complicated — and far more expensive than anyone expected ...

Some of the X-ray radiation circulating in the cavity is allowed to escape downstream, providing a beam of monochromatic and coherent X-ray pulses. They have called their system X-ray Free-Electron ...

Time-dependent driving has become a powerful tool for creating novel nonequilibrium phases such as discrete time crystals and ...

An associate professor in the Department of Physics, Lomsadze uses powerful laser-based tools to capture ultrafast events in quantum materials, work that could shape the future of technology.

After sustained research into the fundamental theories and core technologies of vacuum ultraviolet nonlinear optical materials, a team of researchers from the institute successfully developed an ...

As well as being useful for creating an optical ion clock, this multi-ion capability could also be exploited to create quantum-computing architectures based on multiple trapped ions. And because the ...

While it has become a word, laser used to be an acronym: “light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation”. But there is an even older technology called a maser, which is the ...

Optical atomic clocks are 100 times more precise than cesium clocks. Scientists are using them to search for dark matter and measure gravity.

Researchers developed a high-resolution 3D ultrasonic imaging system for concrete, adapting to various structures for ...

Concrete structures like roads and bridges require nondestructive testing methods to identify interior defects without destroying their structure. Most methods send sound waves into the material and ...

An evolution-inspired framework for how quantum fuzziness gives rise to our classical world shows that even imperfect ...

Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting ...
