Caption

False-color images showing variations in atom numbers (1 to 5 atoms, left to right) and density in different lattice cells of JILA's strontium lattice atomic clock. JILA researchers observed shifts in the clock's frequency that arise from the emergence of multi-particle interactions when three or more atoms occupy a single cell.
