MIT researchers double the accuracy of optical atomic clocks by reducing quantum noise with an innovative laser technique.

EUROPE — Every clock in your house probably tells a slightly different time. Now picture those clocks as the most precise instruments humanity has ever built, so accurate that they wouldn’t lose or ...

Global phase spectroscopy' makes ultraprecise optical timekeepers even more precise Researchers at MIT say they have ...

MIT physicists improved the stability of optical atomic clocks by reducing “quantum noise” — a fundamental measurement ...

Every second of modern life runs on precision — from GPS navigation to the time signals that keep the internet in sync. But ...

The field of optical atomic clocks, in combination with ultracold atoms, has transformed precision timekeeping and metrology. By utilising laser-cooled atoms confined in optical lattices, researchers ...

Topticlock is an atomic clock that relies on a single Yb+ ion for its ~10-17 accuracy.

In a video demonstration, Microchip Technology’s chip-scale atomic clocks reveal their low phase noise and application ...

This particular clock is technically an ion clock, which is different from the more common atomic clocks that are based on measuring the resonant frequencies of a single cesium atom to regulate time ...

The US Air Force is turning to atomic clock technology to help coordinate swarms of small drones in environments where traditional satellite navigation is jammed or spoofed, according to a new request ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...

Microwave-based cesium atomic clocks have long been the gold standard for timekeeping and are an implementation of the ...
