I spent last week at he annual meeting of theAmerican's Physical Society's Division of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics (colloquially referred to as "DAMOP" pronounced "DAY-mop"), with about ...

I'm giving the final exam in my intro course today, then going directly to the airport to fly to Ohio for the annual meeting of the Division of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics (DAMOP, ...

Delve into the detail of atomic physics. As the basic units of matter, atoms are the building blocks for everything in the universe. Once thought to be indivisible, we now know they can indeed be ...

Editor’s Note: Professor WERNER HEISENBERG, who was born in Duisburg in 1901, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932 for his work on the quantum theory. A member of the faculty of the ...

Aspirin in form of small crystallites provides new insight into delicate motions of electrons and atomic nuclei. Set into molecular vibration by strong ultrashort far-infrared (terahertz) pulses, the ...

A reversible alkali atom source has been developed that runs at low power and low voltage, which is beneficial in applications such as smaller, more efficient, and ultimately portable atomic clocks ...

The Pauli exclusion principle is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics and is essential for the structure and stability of matter. Now an international collaboration of physicists ...
