Researchers at the Ye Lab at JILA (the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Colorado Boulder) and University of Delaware recently created a highly precise optical ...

In 2018, Atom Computing used its initial seed funding of $5M to secretly begin building a proof-of-concept quantum platform equipped with 100 qubits. On the strength of its technology and increased ...

Atoms are so small that it's almost impossible to see them without microscopes. But now, an award-winning photo shows a single atom in an electric field—and you can see it with the naked eye if you ...

In the photo above, you’re looking at a single, positively charged strontium atom suspended by electric fields. It’s an atom, visible to the naked eye. Whoa, right? David Nadlinger, a quantum ...

Scientists have made an atomic clock so stable and precise that it will not lose or gain a second in 15 billion years, or longer than the time that the universe is believed to have existed. The ...

At the most basic level, everything is made of tiny atoms. As a way to recognize that fundamental fact, it seems appropriate that a stunning image depicting one single positively-charged strontium ...

If you paid attention in science class you know that atoms make up everything. They're the smallest unit of matter, and everything you've ever touched, felt, or breathed is made up of matter, include ...
