“Here, we have reconstructed many of the properties of other high-dimensional systems, but within an atomic-scale object – a nuclear spin. It is very exciting, and quite plausible, to imagine a ...

In a nuclear-spin dark state, the tiny magnetic properties—known as spins—of atomic nuclei line up and synchronize in a way that stops them from disturbing an electron's spin. This helps to ...

OPMs, based on atomic spin precession, offer a more precise alternative by responding only to the total magnetic field strength, independent of sensor orientation. This has made them useful for ...

Rubidium atoms can behave unpredictably during atomic collisions, especially when exposed to specific laser light.

This sent the world of atomic physicists into a spin: Could this anomaly be the first evidence of a new “dark force” or is it due to properties of the atomic nucleus? Did atomic physicists enter ...

Two experiment collaborations, the g2p and EG4 collaborations, combined their complementary data on the proton's inner ...

A nitrogen-vacancy center is an atomic-scale defect in diamond where ... creating a special configuration of quantum spin states. In a nitrogen-vacancy center microscope, the defect reacts to ...

Meaning we'd need to subtract a second from the atomic timescale ... it's worth noting that Earth's spin is very difficult to predict, and the new study is not necessarily a definitive forecast.
