Atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) physics explores the quantum behaviour of electrons, atoms and light, and their mutual interactions across energy, length and time scales. In atoms and molecules, ...

Time is almost up on the way we track each second of the day, with optical atomic clocks set to redefine the way the world ...

For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more accurate clocks: optical atomic clocks. In a few years' time, they could ...

The geospatial sector, and the wider community, relies on precise timekeeping based on microwave atomic clocks. Is that about ...

A research team at Shanghai Jiao Tong University has unveiled Optics GPT, described as the world's first large language model ...

Glass nanostructures etched using high-intensity femtosecond laser pulses promise to keep vast quantities of data safe for billions of years, describe Peter Kazansky, Ausra Cerkauskaite and Rokas ...

In this Physics World Focus on Optics & Photonics you’ll find an interview with the healthcare photonics lead at the UK’s Centre for Process Innovation, and a report on a pan-European effort to ...

The first Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) was first created by Eric Cornell, Carl Wieman, Mike Anderson, Jason Ensher, and Michael Matthews on June 5, 1995 in JILA at the University of Colorado Boulder ...

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Delaware is a vibrant hub of scientific inquiry, encompassing a diverse range of research areas that push the boundaries of human ...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technology that can non-invasively generate cross-sectional images of tissue. OCT is widely used in eye clinics to diagnose and manage retinal diseases ...

This summer, 10 undergraduates came to CU Boulder from across the country to conduct cutting-edge research through the CU Boulder Physics and JILA Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program.
