Even your Macbook or smartphone displays time which is synchronized to the NIST-F1 clock, a cesium fountain atomic clock (aka the ‘Atomic Clock’) that is part of a global consortium of atomic ...

FOR THE discerning timekeeper, only an atomic clock will do. Whereas the best quartz timepieces will lose a millisecond every ...

From the humble wristwatch to the atomic clock, innovations that came out of global conflicts transformed our relationship ...

The precision of atomic clocks and the atomic time scale are considered in the context of fundamental physical research, with relation to general relativity and applications such as the Global ...

Coordinated Lunar Time will help with precise space-travel calculations. But first, NASA has to figure out how to make it ...

One experiment in the 1970s provided some pretty strong evidence: Atomic clocks are extremely accurate clocks that can measure tiny amounts of time—billionths of a second. In 1971, scientists ...

[Art] certainly lives up to his username. His Rubidium-standard atomic real-time clock is surely an example of hardware art. The substrate is a collection of point-to-point soldered perfboard modules.

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 ...

Atomic clocks typically excite cesium atoms with photons ... in about 0.01 seconds. (The transition time for the bare thorium nucleus 229 Th 90+ is roughly a thousand seconds.) ...
