A radio-controlled clock has a radio inside, which receives a signal that comes from a place where an atomic clock is located, so they are always accurate, according to the National Institute of ...
Frequency ratio of the 229mTh nuclear isomeric transition and the 87Sr atomic clock. Nature, 2024; 633 (8028): 63 DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-07839-6 ...
While their nuclear clock is still a work in progress, once realized it could transform not only timekeeping but also the study of physics, even affecting how scientists investigate the fabric of ...
What exactly is a clock? "We have analyzed in principle which clocks could be theoretically possible," says Prof. Marcus Huber from the Atomic Institute at TU Wien. "Every clock needs two ...
An atomic clock that sets the time by the teensy oscillations of strontium atoms has gotten so precise and stable that it will neither gain nor lose a second for the next 15 billion years.
