Atomic clocks exploit the properties of atoms to create incredibly precise 'ticks.' Nate Phillips, NIST Most clocks, from ...
This Portable Atomic Clock Maintained Accurate Time on a Rolling Ship at Sea In A Nutshell Australian physicists built a ...
Adelaide University researchers have successfully tested a new type of portable atomic clock at sea for the first time, using ...
Nuclear clocks are the next big thing in ultra-precise timekeeping. Recent publications in the journal Nature propose a new method and new technology to build the clocks. Timekeeping has become more ...
Claire Cramer, the executive director of quantum science at the University of California, Berkeley, who was in attendance, expressed optimism about the potential of solid-state nuclear clocks: “This ...
What if time could be measured with near-perfect precision? Atomic clocks do exactly that — using atoms as nature’s most ...
On 13th March 2026, the procured on-board atomic clock stopped functioning. However, the satellite will continue to function in-orbit for various societal applications to provide one way broadcast ...

Unlike other atoms (left), ytterbium-173 (right) has a large nuclear spin and a strongly deformed nucleus whose strong fields interact with the electron shell. This turns forbidden quantum jumps into ...
Most clocks, from wristwatches to the systems that run GPS and the internet, work by tracking regular, repeating motions.
