Research is actively underway to develop a "dream memory" that can reduce heat generation in smartphones and laptops while ...

Scientists at Delft University of Technology have managed to watch a single atomic nucleus flip its magnetic state in real time. Using a scanning tunneling microscope, they indirectly read the nucleus ...

Researchers have been able to initiate a controlled movement in the very heart of an atom. They caused the atomic nucleus to interact with one of the electrons in the outermost shells of the atom.

Scientists are exploring a new type of optical atomic clock based on ytterbium-173 ions that could help define the future standard for measuring time.

Artist impression, based on actual measurement data, of the nuclear spin of an atom flipping between distinct quantum states. The flipping was observed as a fluctuation in the electrical current ...

Recent advances in atomic-scale imaging and manipulation are forging new paths in the exploration of quantum phenomena, with atomic spin dynamics and scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) lying at the ...
