NIST scientists have published results establishing a new atomic clock, NIST-F4, as one of the world’s most accurate timekeepers, priming the clock to be recognized as a primary frequency standard — ...

The way time is measured is on the edge of a historic upgrade. At the heart of this change is a new kind of atomic clock that uses light instead of microwaves. This shift means timekeeping could ...

A team of physicists at the University of Toronto developed a clock they say may be the most accurate on the planet.

Scientists are building a nuclear clock so precise it could detect dark matter and test the laws of physics. The secret? A ...

Physicists at the University of Toronto have developed technology that could power a new generation of optical atomic clocks ...

Vector Atomic has launched a rack-mounted atomic clock. The company this week announced the launch of Evergreen-30, which it said is the world’s first fully integrated commercial optical atomic clock.

The field of optical atomic clocks, in combination with ultracold atoms, has transformed precision timekeeping and metrology. By utilising laser-cooled atoms confined in optical lattices, researchers ...

From sundials to atomic clocks, our understanding of time has become a lot more accurate as technological developments allowed us to measure it more precisely. Much more than helping us arrive on time ...

There are significantly different architectures for what are known as “atomic” clocks. Optically driven atomic clocks offer a new set of performance attributes. The optical atomic clocks use paired ...
