For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more accurate clocks: optical atomic clocks. In a few years' time, they could ...
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 uses light instead of microwaves. This shift means timekeeping could ...
Leading utility needed a seamless way to transition from legacy power grid synchronization to ultra-stable PTP timing and resilient PNT Oscilloquartz ePRTC+ solution delivers new levels of accuracy ...

Ultra precise Chinese lattice clock joins international system, challenging decades of US dominance in global timekeeping ...
An ultra-precise laser synchronized to one of the world’s most precise clocks has been used to excite rapid nuclear oscillations — promising a timekeeper that could help to tackle fundamental ...
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 ...
