Phillips chats about quirky quantum phenomena such as entanglement and superposition and explains how they are exploited in atomic clocks and quantum computing. He also looks to the future of quantum ...

The study of pulsars blossomed into a flourishing subfield. In general, pulsars are near-perfect clocks. While different pulsars have different periods, every radio pulse arrives at the Earth ...

Atomic clocks are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there is a new kid on the block, the optical clock, which ...

Atomic clocks record time using microwaves to measure the frequency of quantum vibrations of electrons. They are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there’s a new kid on the block ...

The FTSE 100 (^FTSE) and European stocks were buoyant on Tuesday, while US stocks see-sawed as markets look to US president Donald Trump's tariff deadline on 2 April. Yesterday, stocks across Europe ...
