New Spin-Squeezing Techniques Let Atoms Work Together for Better Quantum Measurements

Higher accuracy atomic clocks, such as the “tweezer clock” depicted here, could result from linking or “entangling” atoms in a new way through a method known as “spin squeezing,” in which one property of an atom is measured more precisely than is usually allowed in quantum mechanics by decreasing the precision in which a complementary property is measured.

How to Bind with Metals and Water: A New Study on EDTA

The near-universal ability of EDTA to accommodate metal cations comes from its molecular flexibility, which allows it to respond to the chemical nature of the metal ion it binds.
