Precision measurements in atomic and ion physics have become a cornerstone for testing the limits of our understanding of quantum electrodynamics (QED) and the Standard Model. By harnessing ...

Tick tock: Artist's impression of a quantum clock. (Courtesy: Alexander Rommel/TU Wien) The second law of thermodynamics demands that if we want to make a clock more precise – thereby reducing the ...

Certain isotopes such as Indium-115 (In-115) are extremely long lived, taking over 100 trillon years for half of the Indium atoms to decay away. These isotopes allow scientists to probe the precise ...

The final result from the Muon g-2 Experiment has exceeded all expectations, achieving a precision likely to remain unmatched for generations. Yet, recent tensions in theoretical predictions have put ...

The LHCb experiment has taken a leap in precision physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In a new paper submitted to Physical Review Letters and currently available on the arXiv preprint server, ...

Scientists on the BASE experiment vastly improved their measurement of a property of protons and antiprotons. Scientists at CERN are celebrating a recent, rare achievement in precision physics: ...

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) are involved in the major international research consortia NEMESIS (“Neutron Experiments join Muon Experiments for Synergy in Investigation and ...
