Atomic clocks have long served as the benchmark for precise timekeeping by utilising the stable frequency of atomic transitions as a reference. Recent developments focus on harnessing coherent ...

At this point, atomic clocks are old news. They’ve been quietly keeping our world on schedule for decades now, and have been through several iterations with each generation gaining more ...

There are hundreds of atomic clocks in orbit right now, perched on satellites all over Earth. We depend on them for GPS location, Internet timing, stock trading ... and space navigation?Today on ...

Nuclear clocks could rival atomic clocks and allow for new tests of fundamental physics. A new experiment demonstrates all the ingredients needed.

The atomic clock used in modern timekeeping uses lasers to manipulate atoms of cesium-133 along a frigid shaft. Then microwaves blast into a huddled bundle of these atoms, and triggers their ...

On July 14, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced their new and improved optical atomic clock is now the most accurate in the world.

Scientists from the University of Colorado Boulder have created an atomic clock using lasers and strontium atoms that’s incredibly accurate—only losing one second every 40 billion years ...

These high-performance, small-form-factor timing systems are designed for defense applications in GNSS-denied environmentsCHANDLER, Ariz., Aug. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aerospace and defense ...

Aerospace and defence applications rely on Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) technology for mission-critical accuracy and reliability.

For decades, the world has kept time with the ticks of atomic clocks. But they could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to the introduction of a nuclear clock that could revolutionise how we ...
