MIT physicists have significantly amplified quantum changes in atomic vibrations, allowing them to exclude noise from the classical world. This advance may allow them to measure these atomic oscillations, and how they evolve over time, and ultimately hone the precision of atomic clocks and of quantum sensors for detecting dark matter or gravitational waves.
Taiwan in Time: A farcical peace A historical novel published last year helps dispel the narrative that there was no unrest on Penghu following the 228 Incident By Han Cheung / Staff reporter Feb. 22 to Feb. 28 For 73 years, an imposing gateway leading to the eastern shore of Makung (馬公) praised the people of Penghu for remaining peaceful during the 228 Incident According to a plaque on the structure, when Taiwan’s population rose up against the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) on Feb. 28, 1947, “only Penghu remained calm.” Sheng Yi-che published a historical novel last year ab...
31 Dec 2020 10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1... Happy New Year! While the UK looks to Big Ben and the US have their Times Square pendulum, our New Year celebrations rely on pin point accurate timing. Now, a new kind of atomic clock, designed by MIT researchers, will enable even a half second off since the beginning of the Universe to seem like an unnecessary eternity. Entanglement-enhanced optical atomic clocks are no longer bound by the Standard Quantum Limit and will help enable physicists to decipher signals in the universe such as dark matter and gravitational waves. Atomic clock...
But hoping to improve on that staggering feat, scientists at MIT have now pushed the envelope and devised plans for an even more reliable timepiece with notions for a mind-boggling new quantum-entangled atomic clock. Details of their research were recently published in the online journal Nature, where MIT's team provided the blueprints for this remarkable device. Credit: MIT You'd think that recording the vibrations of a single atom should be the ultimate method by which to document time passing. However, a pesky principle involving random quantum fluctuations can disturb the near-p...
Researchers used photography capture technology in 30-minute intervals every day to capture the movement. This study could help better identify time of death. We're learning more new things about death everyday. Much has been said and theorized about the great divide between life and the Great Beyond. While everyone and every culture has their own philosophies and unique ideas on the subject, we're beginning to learn a lot of new scientific facts about the deceased corporeal form.An Australian scientist has found that human bodies move for more than a year after being pro...
