Optical lattice clocks are emerging timekeeping devices based on tens of thousands of ultracold atoms trapped in an optical lattice (i.e., a grid of laser light). By oscillating between two distinct ...

IonQ said Wednesday the planned acquisition is intended to expand its quantum technology portfolio. By integrating Vector Atomic’s advanced PNT systems, including rackmount optical atomic clocks, ...

CHINA — A clutch of 28 dinosaur eggs found in the Qinglongshan fossil reserve in central China is about 86 million years old, according to scientists who used an "atomic clock" method to date the ...

Did you know that moving a clock one inch toward the ground would result in a slower tick compared to the same clock positioned higher up? Gravity doesn't just pull things; it also bends time.

Researchers at the U.S. National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) say they have created the most accurate atomic clock to date — one that can measure time down to the 19th decimal place.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The ongoing race to create the next generation of hyperaccurate ...

He worked to develop an atomic clock that is essential to global positioning systems and helped confirm a rare state of matter predicted based on work by Albert Einstein. By Dylan Loeb McClain Daniel ...

Quantum sensing specialist Aquark Technologies has completed a second trial of its AQlock atomic clock system, facilitated by the Disruptive Capabilities and Technologies Office (DCTO) of the UK Royal ...
