We suspect there are three kinds of people in the world. People who have access to a Michelson Interferometer and are glad, those who don’t have one and don’t know what one is, and a very small number ...

Quantum sensors are transforming how we measure and navigate, offering levels of precision far beyond classical systems. By exploiting atomic superposition, cold atom interferometers, and diamond NV ...

The only major difference between the sun and the stars we see at night is that the sun happens to be close to us—which is advantageous, assuming you enjoy being alive. Astronomers enjoy this as well ...

Accurately controlling film thickness and uniformity is extremely important for both throughput and performance in the automotive, aerospace, semiconductor, medical, and research industries. White ...

In many a school auditorium, a theater kid could be spotted sitting cross-legged with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, surrounded by peers who had just belted their way through the entire Hamilton ...

Georgia State University's Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA), a six-telescope interferometer, excels at studying stars. It's been observing them for 20 years and has contributed to ...

Imagine this: you’re in the middle of an important project, juggling deadlines, and collaborating with a team scattered across time zones. Suddenly, your computer crashes, and hours of work vanish in ...

In a new study, physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have used a cloud of atoms chilled down to incredibly cold temperatures to simultaneously measure acceleration in three dimensions—a ...
