The European Space Agency has launched two atomic clocks on a SpaceX rocket to the ISS to test Einstein's theory of ...

One of NIST's ytterbium lattice atomic clocks. NIST physicists combined two of these experimental clocks to make the world's most stable single atomic clock. The image is a stacked composite of ...

ESA's Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space (ACES) has arrived at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, United States. This cutting-edge European experiment will test fundamental physics from the ...

A network of Earth's best clocks will be synchronised with the most accurate one ever sent into space. But the device has a ...

Even your Macbook or smartphone displays time which is synchronized to the NIST-F1 clock, a cesium fountain atomic clock (aka ... the 1893 Columbian Exposition, image from Scientific American ...

The European Space Agency (ESA) has launched ACES, or the Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space, to the International Space Station ...

JILA's experimental atomic clock based on strontium atoms held in a lattice of laser light is the world's most precise and stable atomic clock. The image is a composite of many photos taken with ...

His Rubidium-standard atomic real-time clock is surely an example of hardware ... frequency counters so he went with logic chips. The pictures and a few video annotations are the only clues ...

SpaceX, on Monday, successfully launched its Dragon spacecraft on the 32nd commercial resupply services mission for NASA. The ...

Atomic clocks record time using microwaves at a frequency matched to electron transitions in certain atoms. They are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there is a new kid on the block ...
