Over the last few years, optical atomic clocks have broken record after record in precision timekeeping. Atoms are cooled to ...
Microchip Technology Inc. has opened a new facility in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, that will focus on the manufacturing of active ...
Time already behaves strangely in modern physics. It can stretch, slow, and split depending on speed and gravity.
In popular culture, lasers are often portrayed as portable blasters that superheat whatever they hit. Some lasers do deliver tremendous amounts of energy in reality, but for scientists and engineers, ...
Few concepts in physics are as familiar, yet as enigmatic, as time. In Einstein's theory of relativity, time is not absolute: ...

A hobbyist mounted a cesium atomic clock on his Raspberry Pi
A hobbyist who blogs as Chip Overclock wasn't satisfied with his GPS-disciplined desk clock. The Raspberry Pi inside it kept time within microseconds of UTC, but only when GPS satellites were ...
Adelaide University researchers have successfully tested a new type of portable atomic clock at sea for the first time, using technology that could help power the next generation of navigation, ...
A portable atomic clock that has been successfully tested at sea could change the future of marine navigation.
Physicists are preparing to test whether atomic clocks can experience quantum superposition, ticking faster and slower simultaneously. The concept merges principles from quantum mechanics and ...
