A team of physicists has discovered a surprisingly simple way to build nuclear clocks using tiny amounts of rare thorium. By ...
EUROPE — Every clock in your house probably tells a slightly different time. Now picture those clocks as the most precise instruments humanity has ever built, so accurate that they wouldn’t lose or ...
The NPL has developed a miniaturised Atomic Fountain Clock that promises to make accurate timekeeping technology smaller.
Like the teeth of a comb, a microcomb consists of a spectrum of evenly distributed light frequencies. Optical atomic clocks can be built by locking a microcomb tooth to a ultranarrow-linewidth laser, ...
Quantum sensing specialist Aquark Technologies has completed a second trial of its AQlock atomic clock system, facilitated by the Disruptive Capabilities and Technologies Office (DCTO) of the UK Royal ...
Nuclear clocks are the next big thing in ultra-precise timekeeping. Recent publications in the journal Nature propose a new method and new technology to build the clocks. Timekeeping has become more ...
