Researchers from ICMAB are revolutionizing how we manipulate light at the nanoscale using chiral plasmonic ...

The advantage of a radio-controlled clock that receives the time signal from WWVB is that you never have to set it again.

Precision equipment manufacturer Shimadzu Corp. said it has created the world’s most accurate time device: a clock that won’t ...

Jitendra Singh on Thursday said that a Third Launch Pad (TLP) will be established at Satish Dhawan Space Centre of ISRO in Sriharikota. As per an official release, in a written reply in the Rajya ...

Glass blowing is the conventional technique for manufacturing vapor cells, and while glassblowing can be used to ...

Atomic clocks are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there is a new kid on the block, the optical clock, which ...

A revolutionary timekeeping breakthrough could be on the horizon as scientists explore the thorium-229 nuclear optical clock, ...

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 ...

The ability to control the color, or emission wavelength, of light from quantum sources is central to the development of ...

In a National Science Review perspective, the research progress and future challenges of nuclear optical clocks are presented ...

Optical clocks, for example, have the potential to define the unit of time — the second — to a more precise degree than is possible in the atomic clocks used at present. The authors showcase a ...

Work on the nuclear clock is being carried out by scientists at JILA, led by JILA and NIST Fellow and University of Colorado Boulder physics professor Jun Ye, in collaboration with the Technical ...
