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 ...

Researchers are looking for new ways to improve timekeeping because even small gains in stability can help physicists discover subtle physical effects. The thorium-229 nuclear clock is a newer venture ...

Atomic clocks will only see a loss of 1 second in accuracy over a period of 10 million years. They are used in multiple ways, including the GPS in your car. Now researchers have found a way to bypass ...

Why have just one technological breakthrough when you can have two at the same time? The Royal Navy has installed for the first time a quantum clock into its XV Excalibur robotic submarine for ...

Researchers have designed a new type of gravitational wave detector that operates in the milli-Hertz range, a region untouched by current observatories. Built with optical resonators and atomic clocks ...

IonQ said Wednesday the planned acquisition is intended to expand its quantum technology portfolio. By integrating Vector Atomic’s advanced PNT systems, including rackmount optical atomic clocks, ...

Time doesn't come from your phone. It doesn't come from your watch either. It comes from atoms oscillating in a vacuum — billions of times a second — inside a system that never stops checking itself.

(CNN) — A clutch of 28 dinosaur eggs found in the Qinglongshan fossil reserve in central China is about 86 million years old, according to scientists who used an “atomic clock” method to date the ...

Companies that can leverage advanced quantum technology to help drone swarms overcome electronic jamming may have a future opportunity in partnership with the Air Force. Specifically, the service is ...
