(TNS) — In 2003, engineers from Germany and Switzerland began building a bridge across the Rhine River simultaneously from both sides. Months into construction, they found that the two sides did not ...

Atomic clocks use quantum physics and the resonant frequency of atoms, like cesium, to define time. Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by ...

Denny Chimes is now synced to atomic clock precision, making the clock tower more accurate than ever. Thejesh Bandi, an ...

Today’s state-of-the-art optical clocks offer accuracy to 18 decimal places, which is roughly equivalent to measuring the ...

Scientists are building a nuclear clock so precise it could detect dark matter and test the laws of physics. The secret? A ...

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 ...

The world’s most accurate clock now belongs to researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Its new optical atomic clock, built around a single trapped aluminum ion, can ...
