Every second of modern life runs on precision — from GPS navigation to the time signals that keep the internet in sync. But ...

MIT physicists improved the stability of optical atomic clocks by reducing “quantum noise” — a fundamental measurement ...

The new research controls the noise in atomic frequency to double the precision of atomic clocks for a more accurate time.

The world’s first stable deployment of a cold-atom-based atomic clock on a moving maritime platform has been completed. The feat was achieved by the Quantum sensing specialist Aquark Technologies ...

Quantum clocks built from randomness offer a new perspective on time, merging quantum mechanics with timekeeping and ...

Optical clocks are highly precise timekeeping devices that measure time by tracking the oscillations of light, as opposed to microwaves, like conventional atomic clocks. The accuracy of these clocks ...

A team from the Faculty of Physics and the Center for Quantum Optical Technologies at the University of Warsaw has developed ...

Nuclear security specialist Sébastien Philippe, one of the 22 recipients of this year's prestigious MacArthur fellowship, ...

After Every Time I Die broke up, most of the band formed Better Lovers (who released a new single this week) and singer Keith Buckley formed Many Eyes (who released a new EP last week), while ...

New device emits photons in telecom fiber band from the start, so it avoids a separate converter that can waste photons.

Nobel laureate Arthur Schawlow’s advice to “never measure anything but frequency” is a central principle of modern precision metrology and timekeeping. Today’s spectroscopy is advanced enough to teach ...
