A technological innovation could revolutionize the precision of navigation systems. A tiny device, shaped like a comb, promises to deliver unparalleled accuracy in the field of positioning.

A collaboration between researchers in the US and Germany has made a major breakthrough in optical nuclear clocks, achieving laser-based excitation of Thoria-229 in a non-transparent host material.

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 uses light instead of microwaves. This shift means timekeeping could ...

Poland has just started up one of the few optical atomic clocks in the world that puts old cesium fountain atomic clocks to shame. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new ...

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, the ...

QuantX personnel conducting environmental testing on the optical frequency comb, which is a key optical atomic clock technology that will be launched into space for testing. (QuantX Labs) ...

The field of optical atomic clocks, in combination with ultracold atoms, has transformed precision timekeeping and metrology. By utilising laser-cooled atoms confined in optical lattices, researchers ...

Improvements in clocks are setting the stage for a redefinition of the second. This is an Inside Science story. (Inside Science) -- Earlier this year, in a nondescript lab at the National Institute of ...
