NIST restored the precision of its atomic clocks after a power outage caused by a power outage disrupted operations. Discover ...
A destructive windstorm disrupted the power supply to more than a dozen atomic clocks that keep official time in the United ...
The National Institute of Standards and Technology recently warned that an atomic clock device installed at its Boulder campus had failed due to a prolonged power ...
A thorium-doped calcium fluoride crystal's temperature is continually monitored while a VUV frequency comb is used to directly resolve individual quantum states of the nuclear transition. For decades, ...
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 ...
Where and why tiny, portable, atomic clocks and their precision are needed. How atomic clocks are no longer room- or box-size arrangements. The size, power, and other metrics of a latest-generation ...
