Study Reveals a New Finding Helping to Solve the “Spin Crisis”
Newswise — STONY BROOK, N.Y., June 21, 2023 — New research findings published in Physical Review Letters provides theorists with new input for calculating how much gluons—the gluelike particles that…
Directly imaging quantum states in two-dimensional materials
Left, ultrafast light pulses excite and probe a tiny sample of WS2 one layer of atoms thick, emitting electrons that are collected by a new detector called a momentum microscope.…
Researchers demonstrate direct comparison of spin-squeezed optical lattice clocks at record precision level
Optical Lattice Clock at JILA, Boulder. Credit: JILA Although today’s best optical atomic clocks can be used to make extremely precise measurements, they are still limited by the noise from…
