Atomic clocks use quantum physics and the resonant frequency of atoms, like cesium, to define time. Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by ...

Atomic clocks and frequency standards represent the pinnacle of precision timekeeping technology. By harnessing the natural oscillatory behaviour of atoms, these devices deliver unparalleled accuracy ...

An Arizona-based company has launched its next generation of low-noise Chip-Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC). Microchip's model SA65-LN is designed to operate in a wider temperature range, enabling low-phase ...

This particular clock is technically an ion clock, which is different from the more common atomic clocks that are based on measuring the resonant frequencies of a single cesium atom to regulate time ...

Ask someone on Earth for the time and they can give you an exact answer, thanks to our planet's intricate timekeeping system, ...

The next generation of atomic clocks “ticks” at the frequency of a laser. That is around 100,000 times faster than the microwave frequencies of the caesium clocks that currently generate the second.

What we’re able to do is divide the same length of time into smaller and smaller units, Adam Kaufman described, speaking to how entanglement sharpens the tick of optical atomic clocks. That one line ...
