New near-zero-temperature atomic clock aims to redefine how precisely we measure time
Today’s state-of-the-art optical clocks offer accuracy to 18 decimal places, which is roughly equivalent to measuring the ...
IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. Chip-scale atomic clocks (CSAC) have ...
In 2024, TU Wien presented the world's first nuclear clock. Now it has been demonstrated that the technology can also be used to investigate unresolved questions in fundamental physics. Thorium atomic ...
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 ...
Scientific clockmakers have crafted a prototype of a nuclear clock, hinting at future possibilities for using atomic nuclei to perform precise measurements of time and make new tests of fundamental ...
Atomic clocks are already the world's most precise time keepers, but physicists are tinkering with a new design that could make them "50 times more precise than today's best designs," according to new ...
