Time appeared to skip a beat last week when some of the world’s most accurate clocks were affected by a wind-induced power ...

Symmetricom Inc., which makes network timekeeping technology in Santa Rosa, today unveiled a tiny atomic clock -- just one cubic inch in size -- that could change defense communications and other ...

An Arizona-based company has launched its next generation of low-noise Chip-Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC). Microchip's model SA65-LN is designed to operate in a wider temperature range, enabling low-phase ...

NIST restored the precision of its atomic clocks after a power outage caused by a power outage disrupted operations. Discover ...

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 ...

Gaby and Alex’s team developed a chip-scale atomic clock (CSAC) that is a little larger than a peanut. Rubidium atoms in the atomic beam provide the microwave quantum transition that is used by the ...

NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Have you ever wondered how the GPS in your phone or your car and pinpoint your location with such accuracy? It’s a matter of time atomic time, to be precise. The triangulation of ...

Atomic clocks have long served as the benchmark for precise timekeeping by utilising the stable frequency of atomic transitions as a reference. Recent developments focus on harnessing coherent ...

The timekeeping device is made with atomic nuclei of thorium, although it is not yet more precise than standard atomic clocks. Reading time 2 minutes Meet the “nuclear” clock: a device that marks the ...

NIST traced the problem to its Boulder, Colorado campus, where a prolonged utility power outage disrupted operations. The ...

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 ...
