The US Air Force is turning to atomic clock technology to help coordinate swarms of small drones in environments where traditional satellite navigation is jammed or spoofed, according to a new request ...
Time is almost up on the way we track each second of the day, with optical atomic clocks set to redefine the way the world ...
The most precise clocks ever built are now testing Einstein, hunting dark matter, and reshaping how we define time itself. In ...
The geospatial sector, and the wider community, relies on precise timekeeping based on microwave atomic clocks. Is that about ...
L-R: Dr Ashby Hilton, Dr Elizaveta (Liz) Klantsataya and Dr Sarah Watzdorf working on a prototype of a next-generation portable atomic clock. Time is almost up on the way we track each second of the ...
For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more accurate clocks: optical atomic clocks. In a few years' time, they could ...
As well as being useful for creating an optical ion clock, this multi-ion capability could also be exploited to create quantum-computing architectures based on multiple trapped ions. And because the ...
