MIT researchers double the accuracy of optical atomic clocks by reducing quantum noise with an innovative laser technique.

Over the years, many new amenities have been installed in space, one of them being atomic clocks. These clocks aid the human population in a myriad of ways, like in GPS navigation, internet timing, ...

There's a new record holder for the most accurate clock in the world. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have improved their atomic clock based on a trapped ...

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 ...

Atomic clocks record time using microwaves at a frequency matched to electron transitions in certain atoms. They are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there is a new kid on the block, the ...
