New JILA atomic clock can outperform all predecessors
JILA physicists have created an atomic clock that reaches the same level of precision as its predecessors but more than 20 times faster, promising improved measurements and technologies across many areas.
Light-activated nanoparticles can supercharge current antibiotics
Light-activated nanoparticles, also known as quantum dots, can provide a crucial boost in effectiveness for antibiotic treatments used to combat drug-resistant superbugs such as E. coli and Salmonella.
