Censorship claims, technical problems and a report of a surge in app deletions are just some of the challenges TikTok is ...

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 ...

Smaller version Illustration of a conventional atomic fountain clock (left) next to NPL’s miniature atomic fountain clock. (Courtesy: NPL) A miniature version of an atomic fountain clock has been ...

Unlike other atoms (left), ytterbium-173 (right) has a large nuclear spin and a strongly deformed nucleus whose strong fields interact with the electron shell. This turns forbidden quantum jumps into ...

The strontium atomic clock measures time so precisely it would not lose a second for 15 billion years, redefining how time can be tracked. Body of Canadian woman, 19, found surrounded by dingoes on ...

Abstract: In this paper, we develop a novel time synchronization algorithm for an ensemble of atomic clocks containing a mixture of second order and third order atomic clocks. To design the feedback ...

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has developed and tested a miniaturised Atomic Fountain Clock that promises to make the world’s most accurate timekeeping technology smaller, simpler, and more ...

The Atomic Clock Market is entering a decade of structurally driven growth, supported by rising dependence on precise, autonomous timing references across mission-critical systems. Valued at USD 651.6 ...

A power outage on Dec. 19 at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) campus in Boulder, Colo., disrupted operation of the NIST-F4 atomic clock. Hurricane force winds and dry ...

How some of the world’s most precise clocks missed a very small beat. By Mike Ives and Adeel Hassan Time appeared to skip a beat last week when some of the world’s most accurate clocks were affected ...

In advance of hurricane force winds moving into Colorado earlier this week, Xcel Energy preemptively shut off power to protect areas of the state from extreme fire danger. But due to the outage, time ...
