A chip that keeps time (almost) like an atomic clock
For decades, atomic clocks have provided the most stable means of timekeeping. They measure time by oscillating in step with ...
Using a technique inspired by old-fashioned jewelry making, a UCLA-led research team has discovered how to build the core of ...
Nuclear clocks are the next big thing in ultra-precise timekeeping. Recent publications in the journal Nature propose a new method and new technology to build the clocks. Timekeeping has become more ...
The National Institute of Standards and Technology recently warned that an atomic clock device installed at its Boulder campus had failed due to a prolonged power ...
Researchers are looking for new ways to improve timekeeping because even small gains in stability can help physicists discover subtle physical effects. The thorium-229 nuclear clock is a newer venture ...
