The NPL has developed a miniaturised Atomic Fountain Clock that promises to make accurate timekeeping technology smaller.
The nucleus of an atom is now the modern version of sand flowing through an hourglass. Researchers have spent 15 years trying to increase accuracy in timekeeping. The U.S. standard currently relies on ...
Picture a clock ticking so steadily that it doesn’t lose a second, even after running for 1 billion years. Scientists are now closer than ever to realizing that level of timekeeping precision, new ...
Sara Imari Walker receives funding from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the John Templeton Foundation relevant to the work in this article. She is also a member of the External ...
Atomic clocks are the most accurate timekeepers we have, losing only seconds across billions of years. But apparently that’s not accurate enough – nuclear clocks could steal their thunder, speeding up ...
Physicists have made one of the highest performance atomic clocks ever. Their instrument, known as an optical lattice atomic clock, can measure differences in time to a precision equivalent to ...
Ryosuke Fukusada designed COO and MOOV, a series of metal cuckoo and pendulum clocks, respectively, crafted from perforated ...
