The H-bomb explosions in mid-Pacific last year were awesome proof of how big the atom can blow. The 14 test shots at Yucca Flat, Nev., programmed between Feb. 1 and this week, are equally sensational ...

Researchers from Los Angeles, Munich, and Mainz open new avenues for nucleus-based quantum technologies A research team from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Ludwig Maximilian ...

An international research team has taken a decisive step toward a new generation of atomic clocks. The researchers have created a much more precise pulse generator based on the element scandium, which ...

Key Point: The Soviets lost interest in launching nuclear weapons from tanks, but their usefulness has not disappeared. In the 1950s and 1960s when tactical nuclear weapons were expected to rule the ...

In Exercise Long Horn, the vast Army-Air Force mock war in Texas, the green-clad Aggressor forces had just seized a position deep behind the defenders’ lines and were massing for a new attack.

The extremely precise control of nuclear excitations opens up possibilities of ultra-precise atomic clocks and powerful nuclear batteries. From atomic clocks to secure communication to quantum ...
