First we got the bomb and that was good/ ‘Cause we love peace and motherhood/ Then Russia got the bomb, but that’s OK/ ‘Cause ...

The HP 115BR is not one of the most well-known products from Hewlett-Packard. And yet, it was remarkably important ...

Last month, a consortium of 69 scientists from across Europe and Japan completed the largest and most coordinated comparison of optical clocks ever undertaken, bringing the world ...

PTB, TU Wien And because nuclear clocks are based on different physics than atomic clocks, comparing the two types of timepieces could allow for new studies of fundamental physics (SN: 6/4/21).

Jan. 28 (UPI) --Due to "deeply concerning" world trends, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists said its "Doomsday Clock" is now 89 seconds to midnight. On Tuesday, the bulletin stated it is "the ...

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

The atomic clock is an optical lattice that controls strontium atoms. Photo: K. Palubicki/NIST New clock just dropped, but it’ll only drop a second every 30 billion years while in operation.

Scientists propose using quantum-entangled clocks to test how gravity affects quantum mechanics in curved spacetime.

Scientists have developed the most accurate atomic clock – if you ran it for twice the current age of the universe, it would only be off by one second. This could not only improve services like ...

Atomic clocks, like those used in GPS satellites, are used to measure the distance between objects by timing how long it takes a signal to travel from Point A to Point B.

A clock network would allow geodesists to compare the ticking of clocks all over the world. They could then use the variations in time to map Earth’s gravitational field much more precisely, and ...
