Many modern atomic clocks use oscillations of strontium atoms rather than cesium to measure time; the most precise of these is accurate to within 1/15,000,000,000 of a second. This means that ...

An international team of researchers has, for the first time, coupled an atomic nucleus to an atomic clock to compare differences in their timekeeping frequencies.… The breakthrough promises to ...

The advantage of a radio-controlled clock that receives the time signal from WWVB is that you never have to set it again. Whether it’s a little digital job on your desk, or some big analog wa… ...

Size: 5 x 6.45 inches; Time zones: 7; This large atomic alarm clock can either be set on a tabletop or hung on your wall with the included mount. This battery-powered alarm clock requires three ...
