The most precise clocks ever built are now testing Einstein, hunting dark matter, and reshaping how we define time itself. The world’s most precise clocks are changing how we understand time itself: ...
Nuclear clocks are the next big thing in ultra-precise timekeeping. Recent publications in the journal Nature propose a new method and new technology to build the clocks. Timekeeping has become more ...
For the first time, an international team of physicists has successfully harnessed a rare orbital transition in atoms of ...
Claire Cramer, the executive director of quantum science at the University of California, Berkeley, who was in attendance, expressed optimism about the potential of solid-state nuclear clocks: “This ...
Atomic clocks have long served as the benchmark for precise timekeeping by utilising the stable frequency of atomic transitions as a reference. Recent developments focus on harnessing coherent ...
On 13th March 2026, the procured on-board atomic clock stopped functioning. However, the satellite will continue to function in-orbit for various societal applications to provide one way broadcast ...
Unlike other atoms (left), ytterbium-173 (right) has a large nuclear spin and a strongly deformed nucleus whose strong fields interact with the electron shell. This turns forbidden quantum jumps into ...
Researchers from UC Santa Barbara and the University of Massachusetts Amherst have, for the first time, demonstrated a chip-scale, stabilized, visible light laser that drives a trapped ion atomic ...
