Scientists developed a highly accurate optical ion clock, improving time measurement precision by 1,000 times.

Even your Macbook or smartphone displays time which is synchronized to the NIST-F1 clock, a cesium fountain atomic clock (aka the ‘Atomic Clock’) that is part of a global consortium of atomic ...

A team of Chinese researchers has reportedly developed the most precise portable atomic clock ever. Small and rigid by design ...

In an optical atomic clock, atoms are irradiated with laser light. If the laser has exactly the right frequency, the atoms ...

[Art] certainly lives up to his username. His Rubidium-standard atomic real-time clock is surely an example of hardware art. The substrate is a collection of point-to-point soldered perfboard modules.

Experience the future of timekeeping with the latest atomic clock technology. Discover how these clocks outperform ...

The leap second – units of time added to the atomic clock every few years to remain synchronised with astronomical time – should be replaced with a leap minute added far less frequently ...

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 ...

The next generation of atomic clocks "ticks" with the frequency of a laser. This is about 100,000 times faster than the ...
