UK researchers unveil ultra-precise atomic clock that is small enough to carry by hand
Researchers at the UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have created a tiny atomic fountain ...
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 ...
Atomic clocks and frequency standards represent the pinnacle of precision timekeeping technology. By harnessing the natural oscillatory behaviour of atoms, these devices deliver unparalleled accuracy ...
