Traditionally, scientists have measured gravity’s influence on atoms by tracking how fast atoms tumble down tall chutes. Such experiments can help test Einstein’s theory of gravity and precisely ...
A quantum trick based on interferometric measurements allows a team of researchers at LMU to detect even the smallest ...
The Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator (BELLA) Center at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, in California, has developed an optical system to precisely measure and control ...
Scientists from the University of Rochester and UC Santa Barbara have built a laser so small it can sit on a penny. But don’t let its size fool you. This tiny laser could power the next generation of ...
Mileseey Tools has introduced the S50 Green-Beam Laser Distance Meter, a new device designed for construction and design professionals who need long-range precision. The S50 provides measurements up ...
Scientists in South Korea have achieved a major milestone in physics – and one pursued by researchers in the field for decades – by generating a record-breaking ultra-high intensity laser. The pulse ...
An NIST physicist holds the newly modified ion trap for the aluminum ion clock. By modifying the trap, the aluminum ion and its magnesium ion partner could 'tick' unperturbed. Optical atomic clocks ...
The laser is based on a phenomenon discovered during the past century, and laser technology became real and concrete at the beginning of the 1960s. In less than 50 years, it has become the basis for ...
