Conventional atomic clocks used on ships are robust enough to handle the rolling waves, but their accuracy pales in comparison to their lab-based counterparts. This is where Vector Atomic ...

A team of physicists and engineers at Vector Atomic, Inc., a maker of navigation and communications equipment, has developed a new kind of atomic clock that they claim is both ultra-precise and ...

Atomic clocks record time using microwaves at a frequency matched to electron transitions in certain atoms. They are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there is a new kid on the block ...
