Quantum mechanics as a field began nearly a century ago. But quantum computers are motivating scientists to fundamentally change how they study it. Researchers @msstate are studying how to use quantum computing to understand nuclear forces:

Tick, tick, tick. As published in @Nature , @CUBoulder & @NIST researchers found that 2 atomic clocks separated by a millimeter tick at different rates. It was the smallest scale measurement yet of time dilation from Einstein's theory of general relativity:

More energy from the sun hits the Earth in a single hour than humans use in an entire year. Perovskites could help us capture more solar energy. Researchers @argonne , @ORNL , & @DukeU used @advancedphoton to look at perovskite's behavior on an atomic level:

How do you make a picture of a proton? To move beyond textbook representations, scientists @MIT and @JLab_News have collaborated on a new animation of the proton that can both educate about and inspire research on this particle:

Science #PicOfTheWeek : In July, the first phase of @SLAClab 's upgrade to #LCLS produced an X-ray beam for the first time. The upgrade will increase the laser’s power, producing a million pulses per second compared to today's 120 per second
