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

The most precise clocks in the world will lose only one second every 300 billion years—and someday they might fit in your ...

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 ...

NASA created the multi-million-dollar timepiece, called the Deep Space Atomic Clock (DSAC), to keep track of time in space more precisely than any device before it - without being too heavy or big ...

University of Delaware physicist Marianna Safronova and collaborators say atomic clocks and other quantum sensors could be used to detect dark matter. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

For space travel in general, and especially as astronauts start venturing farther from Earth, they need the next step up in precision: atomic clocks. Every clock relies on a mechanism to keep ...

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 ...

The strategic integration of advanced materials and the paradigm of miniaturization have notably culminated in the emergence ...

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 ...

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 ...

WIRED is where tomorrow is realized. It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation. The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is ...
