Adelaide-based QuantX Labs plans to launch a key subsystem of its optical atomic clock into space to enhance position, ...

QuantX Labs will launch a key sub-system of its next-generation optical atomic clock on a SpaceX mission in December.

Quantum clock maker QuantX Labs is preparing to launch a key component of its optical atomic clock into space for the first ...

Atomic clocks are timekeeping devices that use the vibrations of atoms (commonly cesium, rubidium, or hydrogen) as their ...

Now a Japanese company has commercialized one approach—an optical-lattice clock it claims is the most accurate on the market.

Atomic clocks record time using microwaves to measure the frequency of quantum vibrations of electrons. They are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there’s a new kid on the block, the ...

A network of Earth's best clocks will be synchronised with the most accurate one ever sent into space. But the device has a ...

A revolutionary timekeeping breakthrough could be on the horizon as scientists explore the thorium-229 nuclear optical clock, an innovation that may surpass today’s atomic clocks. By manipulating ...

Atomic clocks have long been the gold standard for measuring time and frequency. Among them, optical clocks—using atoms like strontium or aluminum—have reached staggering levels of accuracy, with ...
