Atomic clocks use quantum physics and the resonant frequency of atoms, like cesium, to define time. Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by ...
The clock is so reliable that it would be off by less than a second if it had started running 100 million years ago, researchers say. A new atomic clock is one of the world’s best timekeepers, ...
Optical clocks are highly precise timekeeping devices that measure time by tracking the oscillations of light, as opposed to ...

“Atomic clocks and our computer networks are the new, far superior form of time measurement, but we’re forcing them to keep in sync with this older form of measurement,” remarks Dr. David Gozzard, an ...
The European Space Agency (ESA) has launched one of its most precise science experiments to date — the Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space (ACES)—to the International Space Station (ISS). This is no ...
Happy Memorial Day, Short Wavers! This holiday, we bring you a meditation on time ... and clocks. There are hundreds of atomic clocks in orbit... To explore deep space, scientists say we'll need ...
Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by using the quantum behavior of atoms to measure time. Discover how these incredibly precise clocks work, ...
