We think of crystals as the gold standard of frequency generation. However, if you want real precision, you need something either better than a crystal or something that will correct for tiny errors — ...

Rubidium (Rb) was discovered in 1861 by physicist Gustav Kirchhoff — perhaps better known for his work on electrical circuits — together with chemist Robert Bunsen, in Heidelberg. Using their newly ...

Rubidium is a silvery-white and very soft metal — and one of the most highly reactive elements on the periodic table. Rubidium has a density about one and a half times that of water and is solid at ...

Rubidium is an alkali metal in group IA of the periodic table with atomic number 37, an atomic weight of 85.47, and a density of 1.53 Mg/m 3. Its melting point is 38.9 C, and it boils at 688 C. The ...

Researchers have pioneered a breakthrough in ferroelectric material development. They've engineered a novel displacement-type ferroelectric material boasting remarkable dielectric properties. Their ...

The technology that makes infrared cameras possible are sensors that generate a current when struck by infrared photons. An array of these sensors can then be used to recreate an image. But there’s a ...
