Time already behaves strangely in modern physics. It can stretch, slow, and split depending on speed and gravity. Now a new theoretical study pushes that weirdness into even stranger territory. It ...

Scientists are using “trapped ions” in highly precise experiments to search for a new, fifth force of nature that could help explain elusive dark matter. The invisible dark matter is one of the ...

Predicting the lifetime of an electric ion thruster is notoriously difficult. You have to account for the chamber wall effects, which are not present in space environments. Researchers within several ...

Trapped ions are versatile platforms used for quantum computing and ultra-precise timekeeping. New results now show that combining these capabilities can reveal a deeper layer of physical reality: ...
