The most precise clocks in the world will lose only one second every 300 billion years—and someday they might fit in your ...

FOR THE discerning timekeeper, only an atomic clock will do. Whereas the best quartz timepieces will lose a millisecond every ...

Even your Macbook or smartphone displays time which is synchronized to the NIST-F1 clock, a cesium fountain atomic clock (aka the ‘Atomic Clock’) that is part of a global consortium of atomic ...

Nuclear clocks could be more accurate than atomic clocks by a factor of about 10, potentially leading to improved GPS ...

The precision of atomic clocks and the atomic time scale are considered in the context of fundamental physical research, with relation to general relativity and applications such as the Global ...

The leap second – units of time added to the atomic clock every few years to remain synchronised with astronomical time – should be replaced with a leap minute added far less frequently ...

[Art] certainly lives up to his username. His Rubidium-standard atomic real-time clock is surely an example of hardware art. The substrate is a collection of point-to-point soldered perfboard modules.

The clock hands are set by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a group formed by Manhattan Project scientists at the University of Chicago who helped build the atomic bomb but protested using it ...

All about deep-sea mining Atomic clocks are the most precise clocks made that are true to a billionth of a second. They ...

"Atomic clocks use quantum mechanics to measure time, while quantum computers use quantum mechanics to perform calculations," ...
