EUROPE — Every clock in your house probably tells a slightly different time. Now picture those clocks as the most precise instruments humanity has ever built, so accurate that they wouldn’t lose or ...

This particular clock is technically an ion clock, which is different from the more common atomic clocks that are based on measuring the resonant frequencies of a single cesium atom to regulate time ...

On a campus in Boulder, Colorado, time just became a little more exact. Inside the National Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST, a new atomic clock named NIST-F4 has begun to tick — not ...

The European Space Agency’s ACES mission could ultimately pave the way for a global network of atomic clocks that make these measurements far more accurate. In 2003, engineers from Germany and ...

The Department of Defense has awarded quantum technology firm Infleqtion an $11 million contract to help it speed up the development of its atomic timing technology. Atomic clocks are one of the most ...

The heart of a minuscule atomic clock—believed to be 100 times smaller than any other atomic clock—has been demonstrated by scientists at the Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and ...

Where and why tiny, portable, atomic clocks and their precision are needed. How atomic clocks are no longer room- or box-size arrangements. The size, power, and other metrics of a latest-generation ...

Researchers demonstrated a new optical atomic clock that uses a single laser and doesn't require cryogenic temperatures. By greatly reducing the size and complexity of atomic clocks without ...

CHANDLER, Ariz., Jan. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As reliance on precise frequency and timing increases due to the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) enabling 5G communication networks, data ...

QuantX personnel conducting environmental testing on the optical frequency comb, which is a key optical atomic clock technology that will be launched into space for testing. (QuantX Labs) ...

Clocks are the bedrock of modern physics and technology, as they allow scientists to assess fundamental scientific theories, and they make GPS and telecommunications possible. The current gold ...

Space, military, and aerospace applications represent 41.0% of total demand, underscoring the market’s strategic orientation.
