With access to a 10-MHz timebase from a cesium fountain atomic clock — no less a clock than the one that’s used to define the SI second, by the way — [Daniel] looked for ways to sync the ...

(NEXSTAR) – The Doomsday Clock, a concept designed by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists to represent humanity’s proximity to a global catastrophe, might be “reset” on Tuesday.

And these days, it may be that atomic clocks are the only clocks that matter ... solid weight. So pocket watches weren’t exactly an overnight success. Early pieces were largely ornamental ...

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 ...

For example, an atomic clock (a quantum sensor) is far more accurate than a quartz watch (a regular sensor) because it measures time using energy transitions in atoms rather than mechanical ...

Getty Images NPL's atomic clock, alongside clocks from around 80 labs worldwide, helps set Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), the official global time standard To pinpoint our exact location ...

ESA's Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space (ACES) has arrived at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, United States. This cutting-edge European experiment will test fundamental physics from the ...

In 2001, Japanese physicist Hidetoshi Katori proposed a new type of atomic clock that only loses a second every 30 billion years, a period longer than the current age of the universe. The ...

En-route to nuclear clocks, researchers have found a resonant mode in thorium atom nuclei with a low temperature coefficient – nuclear oscillators are mooted initially as replacements for atomic ...

according to its Kyoto-based manufacturer Shimadzu Corp. Known as a "strontium optical lattice clock," it is 100 times more accurate than caesium atomic clocks, the current standard for defining ...
