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 ...

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

Every single day, humans rely on hundreds of hidden clocks. GPS location, Internet stability, stock trading, power grid management ... all rely on atomic clocks in order to work. Many of those clocks ...

A new atomic clock is one of the world’s best timekeepers, researchers say — and after years of development, the “fountain”-style clock is now in use helping keep official U.S. time. Known as NIST-F4, ...

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

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 ...

BRAUNSCHWEIG, Germany — Time measurement is entering a new era. The next generation of atomic clocks uses laser light instead of microwaves to track time, oscillating about 100,000 times faster than ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The ongoing race to create the next generation of hyperaccurate ...

DENVER (KDVR) — It is said that time is relative and passes differently depending on an observer’s relative motion and gravitational potential. Although some would argue time is a construct, it does ...

An Arizona-based company has launched its next generation of low-noise Chip-Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC). Microchip's model SA65-LN is designed to operate in a wider temperature range, enabling low-phase ...

“Humanity Edging Closer To Catastrophe”: Iconic Doomsday Clock moves one second closer to midnight as global existential threats rage. Clock factors include nuclear weapons, climate crisis, artificial ...
