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 ...

More than two decades ago, scientists predicted that at ultra-low temperatures, many atoms could undergo 'quantum superchemistry' and chemically react as one. They've finally shown it's real. When you ...

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 ...

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 ...
