New atomic clock may change how we measure a second
The way the world measures time could be heading for a rare and significant overhaul. Advances in precision technology are ...
Scientists are exploring a new type of optical atomic clock based on ytterbium-173 ions that could help define the future standard for measuring time.
Chinese scientists create clock so precise it could redefine second - Optical clock measures time using light emitted by electrons transitioning between energy levels ...
How can we measure time more than 500 million years into the past? A study recently published in Nature Communications by researchers at the University of Lausanne presents a new geological "rock ...
This breakthrough in precision timing is about the size of your fingernail and only loses one second every 30,000 years.
The creation of atomic clocks allowed scientists to measure the second independently, based on unchanging features of nature.
