    New type of atomic clock keeps time even more precisely: The design, which uses entangled atoms, could help scientists detect dark matter and study gravity’s effect on time.

    Illustration of atoms trapped in an optical cavity composed of two mirrors. When a “squeezing” laser is set through the cavity, the atoms are entangled, and their frequency is measured with a second laser, as a platform for more precise atomic clocks.

    Advance may enable “2D” transistors for tinier microchip components: Atomically thin materials are a promising alternative to silicon-based transistors; now researchers can connect them more efficiently to other chip elements.

    An illustration of the interface between the semimetal (bismuth) and the 2D semiconductor (MoS2), there is no energy barrier for the electron to go through, leading to an ultralow contact resistance between them.
