coupled an atomic nucleus to an atomic clock to compare differences in their timekeeping frequencies.… The breakthrough promises to ease the development of the next generation of ultra-precise ...

The theory was developed by Neils Bohr's great-grandson. The use of a special type of atom could make even the most advanced atomic clocks more precise, scientists believe. If confirmed ...

PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vector Atomic has announced the launch of Evergreen-30, the world’s first fully integrated commercial optical clock. EG-30 introduces a new performance class ...

FOR THE discerning timekeeper, only an atomic clock will do. Whereas the best quartz timepieces will lose a millisecond every six weeks, an atomic clock might not lose a thousandth of one in a decade.
