However, aluminum is tricky. The element is difficult to measure with lasers, as well as cool to absolute zero. But when ...

There's a new record holder for the most accurate clock in the world. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and ...

Quantum networking is being rapidly developed world-wide. It is a key quantum technology that will enable a global quantum ...

However, compared with the electrons in atomic clocks, the mechanisms within a nuclear clock are much less affected by outside disturbances such as stray electromagnetic fields.

More accurate strontium-based atomic clocks are possible – and accurate to one second every 40 billion years – by emitting radiation in the visible, rather than microwave, spectrum.

Atomic scientists on Tuesday kept their "Doomsday Clock" set as close to midnight as ever before, citing Russia's actions on nuclear weapons amid its invasion of Ukraine, nuclear-armed Israel's ...

First set in 1947, the Doomsday Clock warns humanity about how close – or far – we are to destroying our world with our own dangerous technologies.

Researchers recently announced a big step forward in the development of a nuclear clock. Nuclear clocks are the theoretical successor to atomic clocks, our current most accurate timepieces, and ...

Vector Atomic has announced the launch of Evergreen-30, the world’s first fully integrated commercial optical clock. EG-30 introduces a new performanc ...

From satellite navigation to GPS, the world runs on ultraprecise timekeeping, usually based on atomic clocks. These devices use energy sources, such as lasers tuned to specific frequencies, to ...

"Atomic clocks, such as the caesium-133 clock or the strontium-87 clock, rely on oscillations of electrons in an atom, which can oscillate at highly reliable frequencies when excited by microwave ...

Atomic scientists kept their “Doomsday Clock” set at 90 seconds to midnight, citing threats from multiple wars, nuclear weapons and climate change as factors.
