Breakthrough could pave the way for next-generation GPS in drones, smartphones and self-driving cars, scientists say.

JILA researchers are pioneering a nuclear clock using thorium-229, which offers unprecedented stability compared to atomic ...

So steady are these oscillations that atomic clocks keep better time than the spinning earth itself The "pendulums" which regulate them are the vibrating parts of atoms or molecules.

For decades, atomic clocks have been the pinnacle of precision timekeeping, enabling GPS navigation, cutting-edge physics ...

Atomic Digital Clock Auto Set (no back light) - Using radio frequencies broadcast from NIST’s Colorado , the clock will automatically set to the correct time. Automatically adjusts to Daylight ...

The clock hands are set by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a group formed by Manhattan Project scientists at the University of Chicago who helped build the atomic bomb but protested using it ...

En-route to nuclear clocks, researchers have found a resonant mode in thorium atom nuclei with a low temperature coefficient - nuclear oscillators are ...

For decades, atomic clocks have been the pinnacle of precision timekeeping, enabling GPS navigation, cutting-edge physics research, and tests of ...

Researchers have explored the interplay between gravitational effects and quantum interactions in optical atomic clocks, revealing more about quantum entanglement in precision timekeeping.

They may also set themselves according to atomic clocks. They even adjust when we travel into different time zones if they are taken out of airplane mode upon arrival. A radio-controlled clock ...
