Scientists and engineers collaborating across seven universities and two national laboratories have made a fundamental discovery about the atomic structure and vibrations in multilayer nanostructures, ...

They allow researchers to test the predictive power of our most fundamental understanding of atomic structure. These efforts could lead to new insights into QED in for bound systems—that is, in ...

A new experiment involving a network of entangled atomic clocks could finally help us test how quantum mechanics fits with general relativity. Quantum mechanics is our best understanding of the ...

Researchers have used equipment originally intended for astronomy observation to capture transformations in the nuclear structure of atomic nuclei, reports a new study. A group of researchers have ...

A new AI model generates realistic synthetic microscope images of atoms, providing scientists with reliable training data to accelerate materials research and atomic scale analysis. (Nanowerk ...

A central focus of our research program are several precision experiments that use parity-violating electron scattering to probe the structure of nucleons (the proton and the neutron).

Optical atomic clocks are the most accurate measuring instruments ever built and are becoming key tools for basic and applied research, for example to test the constancy of natural constants or for ...

Research Assistantship Openings in Professor Dmitry Reznik Group Starting in the Summer or Fall of 2023: Our group investigates quantum materials primarily using neutron, x-ray, and Raman scattering ...
