The Doomsday Clock has been set at 85 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been to midnight, according to the ...
This has now paved the way for a multi-ion optical ytterbium clock that combines the high accuracy of single-ion clocks with ...
The most precise clocks ever built are now testing Einstein, hunting dark matter, and reshaping how we define time itself. In ...
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 ...
Time is almost up on the way we track each second of the day, with optical atomic clocks set to redefine the way the world ...
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 ...
On Tuesday, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists set the clock at 85 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been to ...
For decades, atomic clocks have provided the most stable means of timekeeping. They measure time by oscillating in step with the resonant frequency of atoms, a method so accurate that it serves as the ...
The geospatial sector, and the wider community, relies on precise timekeeping based on microwave atomic clocks. Is that about ...
For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more accurate clocks: optical atomic clocks. In a few years' time, they could ...
