Scientists in Germany have unveiled that the world’s most precise mobile atomic clock is so accurate that it will be off by ...

Scientists have taken another giant step towards building the most precise clock ever imagined—one that could display not only the passage of time, but shifting rules of nature itself. An ...

MIT researchers double the accuracy of optical atomic clocks by reducing quantum noise with an innovative laser technique.

Atomic clocks use quantum physics and the resonant frequency of atoms, like cesium, to define time. Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by ...

The field of optical atomic clocks, in combination with ultracold atoms, has transformed precision timekeeping and metrology. By utilising laser-cooled atoms confined in optical lattices, researchers ...

Microsemi Corporation introduced the release of its enhanced Quantum™ Rubidium Miniature Atomic Clock (MAC) SA.3X family. As one of the industry’s smallest, lightest and highest-performing MACs, the ...

In an era when millions of Americans are chained to computers, handcuffed to BlackBerrys and plugged into iPods, something as simple as knowing the current time should be easy. But here’s the snag: ...

In a paleontology “first”, a new method has been developed to directly date dinosaur eggs by using lasers to analyze eggshell fragments. The researchers from the Hubei Institute of Geosciences in ...

Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by using the quantum behavior of atoms to measure time. Discover how these incredibly precise clocks work, ...
