His Rubidium-standard atomic real-time clock is surely an example of hardware ... and a custom fabricated aluminum chassis pan. For the circuit itself [Art] tells us he wanted to build something ...

In 2001, Japanese physicist Hidetoshi Katori proposed a new type of atomic clock that only loses a second every 30 billion years, a period longer than the current age of the universe. The ...

It discusses the stability and accuracy of atomic frequency standards, including different types of oscillators and atomic clocks, covering recent developments and uses of these devices. The precision ...

With access to a 10-MHz timebase from a cesium fountain atomic clock — no less a clock than the one that’s used to define the SI second, by the way — [Daniel] looked for ways to sync the ...

Premium Ekkehard Peik, one of the field’s pioneers, says such a clock could be a factor of 1,000 times better than today’s standard atomic clocks. Image: Pixabay FOR THE discerning timekeeper ...

While the first atomic clock was invented in 1949, no nuclear clock has yet been feasible. The simple reason is that it takes much more energy to excite a nucleus into a higher energy state than ...

It often involves using quantum systems like atoms, ions, or superconducting circuits, which are highly sensitive to magnetic ...

Nasa has put a miniaturised atomic clock in orbit that it believes can revolutionise deep-space navigation. About the size of a toaster, the device is said to have 50 times the stability of ...

But the River Thames is perhaps the choice for the most special deliveries - including an optical atomic clock. A flotilla of 15 boats, led by royal barge Jubilant, has carried the extremely ...
