Atomic clocks use quantum physics and the resonant frequency of atoms, like cesium, to define time. Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by ...

BRAUNSCHWEIG, Germany — Time measurement is entering a new era. The next generation of atomic clocks uses laser light instead of microwaves to track time, oscillating about 100,000 times faster than ...

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,... To explore deep space, we'll need better clocks.

Atomic clocks keep getting smaller, lower power, and better—Microchip’s latest chip-scale version leverages EXMO technology to bring its height down to half an inch. Where and why tiny, portable, ...

Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by using the quantum behavior of atoms to measure time. Discover how these incredibly precise clocks work, ...
