Dr Jacinda Ginges, from UQ’s School of Mathematics and Physics, said the unusual atom – made up of an ordinary caesium atom and an elementary particle called a muon – may prove essential in better ...

How do we measure time? Technically, by the oscillations of a cesium atom. This film tells a human story behind an element from the periodic table: cesium. “Three, two, one, go!” When I became a ...

Physicists at UC Berkeley immobilized small clusters of cesium atoms (pink blobs) in a vertical vacuum chamber, then split each atom into a quantum state in which half of the atom was closer to a ...

Atomic clocks are crucial for everyday living as they help our telecommunications, electrical power grids, GPS systems, transportation, and other processes around the world keep precise time. Some of ...

An unusual form of caesium atom is helping a research team unmask unknown particles that make up the Universe. An unusual form of caesium atom is helping a University of Queensland-led research team ...
