Quantum timekeeping has reached a new threshold, with trapped-ion clocks now accurate to the 19th decimal place and a ...

Ultra precise Chinese lattice clock joins international system, challenging decades of US dominance in global timekeeping ...

To find out how clock accuracy is verified and which reference is used for comparison, we visited the Belarusian State ...

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 ...

A nuclear transition such as that in thorium-229 will be much less disturbed in the solid state, and its clock transition will be mostly preserved even in a crystal environment. The solid-state ...

At this point, atomic clocks are old news. They’ve been quietly keeping our world on schedule for decades now, and have been through several iterations with each generation gaining more accuracy. They ...

For decades, atomic clocks have provided the most stable means of timekeeping. They measure time by oscillating in step with the resonant frequency of atoms, a method so accurate that it serves as the ...

Dstl's trial has supported the development of next‑generation atomic clocks for the UK's defence needs. A trial led by the ...

In the realm of first-world problems, your cheap wall clock doesn’t keep time, so you have to keep setting it. The answer? Of course, you connect it to NTP and synchronize the clock with an ...
