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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed the most precise and accurate atomic clock to date – if you ran it for twice the current age of the universe, it would only be off by one second. This could not only improve ...

Atomic clocks have long been the gold standard for measuring time and frequency. Among them, optical clocks—using atoms like strontium or aluminum—have reached staggering levels of accuracy, with ...

The way time is measured is on the edge of a historic upgrade. At the heart of this change is a new kind of atomic clock that uses light instead of microwaves. This shift means timekeeping could ...

A new comb-like computer chip could be the key to equipping drones, smartphones and autonomous vehicles with military-grade positioning technology that was previously confined to space agencies and ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The ongoing race to create the next generation of hyperaccurate ...

The world’s most accurate clock now belongs to researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Its new optical atomic clock, built around a single trapped aluminum ion, can ...

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 ...

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

(Bloomberg) — 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 ...
