Time crystals promise to power a new generation of ultra-precise quantum clocks
Keeping perfect time is far trickier than it sounds. The world’s best clocks that ...
For decades, atomic clocks have provided the most stable means of timekeeping. They measure time by oscillating in step with the resonant frequency of atoms, a method so accurate that it serves as the ...
By Will Dunham WASHINGTON, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Atomic scientists set their "Doomsday Clock" on Tuesday closer than ever to midnight, citing aggressive behavior by nuclear powers Russia, China and the ...
A nuclear transition such as that in thorium-229 will be much less disturbed in the solid state, and its clock transition will be mostly preserved even in a crystal environment. The solid-state ...
Unlike other atoms (left), ytterbium-173 (right) has a large nuclear spin and a strongly deformed nucleus whose strong fields interact with the electron shell. This turns forbidden quantum jumps into ...
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 ...
The geospatial sector, and the wider community, relies on precise timekeeping based on microwave atomic clocks. Is that about ...
The new Doomsday Clock time has been set by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Here’s what it means.
