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 ...

which is a key optical atomic clock technology that will be launched into space for testing. (QuantX Labs) Adelaide-based QuantX Labs plans to launch a key subsystem of its optical atomic clock ...

They are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there’s a new kid on the block, the optical clock, which boasts an even higher level of accuracy. Is it time to redefine the second?

Currently, atomic clocks, especially atomic optical clocks, set the standard for accuracy. However, the 229 Th nuclear optical clock could potentially outperform them all. 229 Th is unique among all ...

But there is a move to replace that definition using optical clocks that are 100 times more accurate than a standard atomic clock. In recent news, the Boulder Atomic Clock Optical Network ...

The University of Birmingham is developing a portable optical atomic clock that could be used as a gravity sensor as well as for navigation and timing, writes Steve Bush in UK plc reveals quantum 2.0 ...
