He worked to develop an atomic clock that is essential to global positioning systems and helped confirm a rare state of ...
On this week’s “More To The Story,” Daniel Holz from the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists discusses why the hands of the ...
At the heart of this change is a new kind of atomic clock that uses light instead of microwaves. This shift means timekeeping could become 1,000 times more accurate than today's standards.
New Atomic Fountain Clock Props Up the World's Time With Pinpoint Precision Learn about NIST-F4, the latest cesium fountain clock that now stands as one of the most accurate timekeepers in the entire ...
Please stop using your phone as an alarm. The best alarm clocks range from simple analog clocks to smart sleep tech systems.
Atomic clocks keep getting smaller, lower power, and better—Microchip’s latest chip-scale version leverages EXMO technology to bring its height down to half an inch.
A technological innovation could revolutionize the precision of navigation systems. A tiny device, shaped like a comb, promises to deliver unparalleled accuracy in the field of positioning.
A low-noise chip-scale atomic clock (LN-CSAC), the SA65-LN from Microchip, features a profile height of less than 0.5 in. (12.7 mm). Aimed at aerospace and defense applications where size, weight, and ...
Atomic scientists moved their "Doomsday Clock" closer to midnight than ever before, citing Russian nuclear threats amid its invasion of Ukraine and other factors underlying the risks of global ...
The next generation of atomic clocks "ticks" with the frequency of a laser. This is about 100,000 times faster than the microwave frequencies of the cesium clocks which are generating the second ...
For decades, the world has kept time with the ticks of atomic clocks. But they could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to the introduction of a nuclear clock that could revolutionise how we ...
