Abstract: This paper presents the development of a MEMS-based reflection-type vapor cell combined with metasurfaces, which function as essential optical components for a microfabricated atomic clock.

Nuclear clocks are the next big thing in ultra-precise timekeeping. Recent publications in the journal Nature propose a new method and new technology to build the clocks. Timekeeping has become more ...

The emission of photons by excited nuclei has been explored for timekeeping and sensing, but nuclear processes that eject electrons offer practical advantages. Electrons in atoms can exist only in ...

There is an expectation that accompanies writing near and about anniversaries, and nuclear anniversaries are no exception to the rule. Other experts and I have followed the general anniversary format ...
