Antiferromagnetic materials, with antiparallel atomic spins and zero net magnetization, are fast and resistant to external ...

Most clocks, from wristwatches to the systems that run GPS and the internet, work by tracking regular, repeating motions. To build a clock, you need something that ticks in a perfectly repeatable way.

Here's a novel pathway to a more sustainable planet: carbo-loading for the public good. In a new study published in Nature Synthesis, chemists at Yale and the University of California-Berkeley have ...

Over the last few years, optical atomic clocks have broken record after record in precision timekeeping. Atoms are cooled to ...

The intermediate range order of covalent glasses has been extensively studied in terms of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), but the direct observation of the atomic density fluctuations that ...

Scientists have decoded the atomic-level secrets behind catalysts that turn propane into propylene. Their algorithms reveal unexpected oxide behavior that stabilizes the catalytic reaction by ...

At Brookhaven, L.I., a dragline excavator manned by a nuclear physicist broke ground last week for the first chain-reacting pile to be built in the U.S. in peacetime.* Financed by a $10 million ...

The Bulletin is delighted to feature Atomic Terrain, an ongoing constellation of artistic projects aimed at drawing attention to how nuclear legacies reverberate in today’s world. Atomic Terrain is ...

When the atomic bomb fell on Hiroshima, its tremors were felt even in U.S. book publishing. The journalists of science hastily locked themselves up with their thoughts and their typewriters. Editors ...
