An extremely cold gas of strontium atoms is trapped in a web of light known as an optical lattice. The atoms are held in an ultrahigh-vacuum environment, which means there is almost no air or other ...

A clock built by a team led by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been estimated to be 41 percent more accurate than the previous timekeeping record holder.

Researchers in Boulder built a new clock that is more precise and accurate than any clock in the world. The discovery has implications for exploring fundamental physics questions, propelling new ...

Improvements in clocks are setting the stage for a redefinition of the second. This is an Inside Science story. (Inside Science) -- Earlier this year, in a nondescript lab at the National Institute of ...

The most accurate clock in space launches within days and will begin building a highly synchronised network out of the best clocks on Earth. But the project, decades in preparation, will only operate ...

There's a new record holder for the most accurate clock in the world. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have improved their atomic clock based on a trapped ...

ATS' cloud-based TimeCom® Solution now integrates seamlessly with Legion's Workforce Management Platform WINDSOR, CT / ...

If, like me, you can't go a day without making sure your watch is synced to the second, you'll be delighted to learn that a new atomic clock has broken the record with an accuracy of 5.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ – ...

Researchers at the U.S. National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) say they have created the most accurate atomic clock to date — one that can measure time down to the 19th decimal place.

With shrinking process nodes and increasing operating frequencies, designers face the challenges of managing noise caused by signal crosstalk and dynamic voltage drop to meet their timing requirements ...

If time is money, precision in nanoseconds can be measured in millions of dollars. Shimadzu Corp, a Kyoto, Japan-based precision equipment maker, has started selling a clock which is accurate to a ...

The most accurate timekeepers in the world just got a new use. It turns out they can double up as simulators to help us better understand the deepest mysteries of the quantum world. Many problems in ...
