The National Institute of Standards and Technology's new cesium fountain clock is one of the most precise atomic clocks ever ...

The advantage of a radio-controlled clock that receives the time signal from WWVB is that you never have to set it again. Whether it’s a little digital job on your desk, or some big analog wall ...

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 ...

An atomic clock research team from the National Time Service Center ... of a compact or even chip-scale optical frequency reference, which might find applications in instrumentation, navigation, and ...

The clock hands are set by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a group formed by Manhattan Project scientists at the University of Chicago who helped build the atomic bomb but protested using it ...

Whether you find yourself glancing at a clock on the wall or checking your phone, the time you constantly see is the product of a meticulous system upheld by the world’s timekeepers. In the U.S., a ...

Atomic clocks have been widely applied since then ... metrology (including the redefinition of time), and numerous practical applications.”‘ Shimadzu collaborated with Hidetoshi Katori ...

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 ...

Clocks on Earth are ticking a bit more regularly thanks to NIST-F4, a new atomic clock at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) campus in Boulder, Colorado. NIST-F4 measures an ...

DENVER (KDVR) — It is said that time is relative and passes differently depending on an observer’s relative motion and gravitational potential. Although some would argue time is a construct ...
