FOR THE discerning timekeeper, only an atomic clock will do. Whereas the best quartz timepieces will lose a millisecond every ...

Nuclear clocks could be more accurate than atomic clocks by a factor of about 10, potentially leading to improved GPS ...

Precision time is ubiquitous today thanks to GPS and WWVB. Even your Macbook or smartphone displays time which is synchronized to the NIST-F1 clock, a cesium fountain atomic clock (aka the ...

This is why atomic clocks were one of the enabling technologies for GPS. In turn, atomic clocks on GNSS satellites became the most convenient way to calibrate and synchronize local clocks on the ...

From the humble wristwatch to the atomic clock, innovations that came out of global conflicts transformed our relationship ...

“The cesium atomic clock was invented in 1955. Eventually, it was not only used to define the second, but they were loaded onto satellites to bring us accurate real-time GPS tracking. Who would ...

Atomic clocks on these satellites are not foolproof, and are prone to failure due to various reasons. NavIC, the alternative ...
