Japanese scientists make ytterbium atomic clock that could detect dark matter
Physicists have developed a highly precise and ultra-sensitive atomic clock based on ytterbium, which ...
Physicists are getting closer to creating a long-sought ‘nuclear clock’. This device would keep time by measuring energy transitions in the nuclei of atoms and could become the ...
For decades, atomic clocks have provided the most stable means of timekeeping. They measure time by oscillating in step with the resonant frequency of atoms, a method so accurate that it serves as the ...
Nuclear clocks are the next big thing in ultra-precise timekeeping. Recent publications in the journal Nature propose a new method and new technology to build the clocks. Timekeeping has become more ...
To find out how clock accuracy is verified and which reference is used for comparison, we visited the Belarusian State Institute of Metrology (BelGIM), where most of the national standards are kept.
Time is almost up on the way we track each second of the day, with optical atomic clocks set to redefine the way the world measures one second in the near future. Researchers from Adelaide University ...
