Accurate frequency measurements of a narrow optical clock transition in 171 ... in the quest to develop increasingly accurate atomic clocks. The spectral resolution achieved in the NIST experiment ...

The invention – called the optical lattice clock – is a thousand times more accurate than cesium atomic clocks used for international timekeeping and is a contender for redefining how long a ...

This optical lattice clock is a major candidate for the "definition of a second" of the next generation. The accuracy of the cesium atomic clock, which is the current universal time, has an uncertainty ...

Atomic clocks typically excite cesium atoms ... This resonance could open the path to a nuclear optical clock. The team found that increasing the laser's energy intensity by four orders of ...
