The National Institute of Standards and Technology's new cesium fountain clock is one of the most precise atomic clocks ever created.

Computers measure vibrations in Cesium atoms from one of the Cesium fountains, a part of what is commonly referred to as “the atomic clock”, as it measures time to incredible accuracy at the ...

NIST-F4 is a cesium fountain clock, which is considered the cream of the crop - there are fewer than 20 of its kind operating in the entire world. Fountain clocks are not constantly running like ...

The 5071B cesium atomic clock from Microchip Technology lets data centers or telecoms towers operate autonomously even if satellite time services are not available. The system allows systems such ...

Adtran’s unique cesium clock solutions deliver longer service life and reduced total cost of ownership OSA 3200 SP and OSA 3250 ePRC replace aging magnetic cesium clocks and simplify network ...

Since 2014, the primary current standard in the US—a cesium fountain clock located at the NIST—has been capable of keeping time with an uncertainty of 1 second in 300 million years.

According to scientists at NIST in Boulder, their newest atomic clock, the NIST-F4, will help track time more precisely and help put global time on a more accurate frequency.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala.-- (BUSINESS WIRE)--#5G--Adtran today launched two new optical cesium atomic clocks that set new standards in network time synchronization: the OSA 3300 Super High-Performance (OSA ...

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 next generation of atomic clocks “ticks” at the frequency of a laser. That is around 100,000 times faster than the microwave frequencies of the caesium clocks that currently generate the second.

Adtran today launched the latest additions to its Oscilloquartz optical cesium portfolio, expanding access to precision timing across a wider range of network environments. The new OSA 3200 SP and ...

Adtran expands Oscilloquartz atomic clock portfolio with lower-cost optical cesium solutions for wider market adoption News summary: New Oscilloquartz models bring advanced optical pumping ...
