The European Space Agency has launched two atomic clocks on a SpaceX rocket to the ISS to test Einstein's theory of ...

Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by using the quantum behavior of atoms to measure time. Discover how these incredibly precise clocks ...

NASA's SpaceX 32nd commercial resupply services mission, scheduled to lift off from the agency's Kennedy Space Center in ...

Atomic clocks record time using microwaves at a frequency matched to electron transitions in certain atoms. They are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there is a new kid on the block ...

The results of this research were published in Nature Photonics. Traditional atomic clocks, although precise, use microwaves to measure time. Optical atomic clocks, on the other hand, use laser light ...

provide them with the exact time and date thanks to accurate atomic clocks and the clever Network Time Protocol (NTP). But it wasn’t always like this: back in the 1990s when many computers didn ...

Atomic clocks are timekeeping devices that use the vibrations of atoms (commonly cesium, rubidium, or hydrogen) as their ...
