A clock based on just a single atom — the simplest clock yet — has now been devised, researchers say. This new device to measure time could help lead to a radically new way to define mass as well, ...
These days, everybody learns in grade school that an atom looks a bit like a little solar system, with a positively charged nucleus orbited by negatively charged electrons. Hydrogen is the simplest ...
(Nanowerk News) Simple atoms have been the subjects of precision experimental and theoretical investigations for nearly 100 years, with pioneering work carried out on the description and measurement ...
