Optical lattice clocks are emerging timekeeping devices based on tens of thousands of ultracold atoms trapped in an optical ...

With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics attempts ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an ...

Atomic and molecular physics it the study of the properties, dynamics and interactions of the basic (but not fundamental) building blocks of matter. A crucial component of this is understanding the ...

This review discusses the impact of non-Hermitian physics on optics, revealing new possibilities in wave control and addressing fundamental performance limits.
