NIST set its new atomic clock in motion, and it’s astoundingly precise

A new atomic clock is one of the world’s best timekeepers, researchers say — and after years of development, the “fountain”-style clock is now in use helping keep official U.S. time. Known as NIST-F4, ...

Mesa Quantum Raises $11.8 Million—Creating GPS-Independent Timekeeping with Chip-Scale Atomic Clocks

If GPS goes down, how do you know the time? An introduction to "quantum sensors" from the funding of atomic clock startup ...

Atomic Nucleus Clocks Are Making History After Decades Of Theorizing

Perfect timekeeping is more complicated than you think. Most clocks slow down over time (not that many people notice), and tiny imperfections in the manufacturing process ensure that no two timepieces ...
