Unveil the advancements behind the most accurate atomic clock. Learn how it computes time more accurately than ever before.

A clock built by a team led by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been estimated to be 41 percent more accurate than the previous timekeeping record holder.

World’s most accurate atomic clock uses 2-mile laser beam to track time precisely The aluminum ion clock’s accuracy record stems from two decades of persistent refinement.

Daniel Kleppner, an experimental physicist who helped to develop an atomic clock that became an essential part of global positioning systems, or GPS, and who also helped to discover a rare ...

Researchers have discovered a simple yet powerful way to protect atoms from losing information—a key challenge in developing reliable quantum technologies.

It is controlled from a single user-interface; any of Toptica’s tunable diode lasers with a wavelength between 420 nm and 2000 nm can be locked to the frequency comb. and frequency-doubled lasers with ...

Earlier on June 2, Adtran announced the expansion of its Oscilloquartz optical cesium portfolio with the introduction of the new OSA 3200 SP and OSA 3250 ePRC atomic clocks.

Scientists believe this method yields far more accurate results than the cesium atomic clocks, which have been the global standard for the past five decades.

The pendulum of a pendulum clock generates a little heat and disorder among the air molecules around it, and every laser beam that reads the state of an atomic clock generates heat, radiation and ...

Adtran expands Oscilloquartz atomic clock portfolio with lower-cost optical cesium solutions for wider market adoption Jun. 02, 2025 8:00 AM ET ADTRAN Holdings, Inc. (ADTN) ...
