The first-ever deployment of a quantum optical atomic clock on an underwater autonomous submarine has been successfully ...

Atomic clocks and frequency standards represent the pinnacle of precision timekeeping technology. By harnessing the natural oscillatory behaviour of atoms, these devices deliver unparalleled accuracy ...

In 2024, TU Wien presented the world's first nuclear clock. Now it has been demonstrated that the technology can also be used to investigate unresolved questions in fundamental physics.

Scientists in Germany have unveiled that the world’s most precise mobile atomic clock is so accurate that it will be off by ...

Testbed submarine XV Excalibur went to sea with Infleqtion’s quantum optical atomic clock on board – the first time such a ...

Scientists have taken another giant step towards building the most precise clock ever imagined—one that could display not only the passage of time, but shifting rules of nature itself. An ...

Frequency Electronics, Inc. (FEI), a provider of precision timing and frequency technology, clarified a previous statement made during itsearnings callregarding anticipated revenue from its new TURbO ...

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.

A top scientist has proposed a new way to reconcile the two different ways that our clocks keep time. Meet — wait for it — the leap minute. By Matt Richtel Later this month, delegations from around ...

On those three days, just over a millisecond is expected to be shaved off the standard 24-hour day. Of course, you're unlikely to notice such a miniscule difference in your day. But scientists who ...
