The theory was developed by Neils Bohr's great-grandson. The use of a special type of atom could make even the most advanced atomic clocks more precise, scientists believe. If confirmed, this ...

The team hopes a prototype will be ready by late 2025. Related reading: For more about Holly's Optical Atomic Strontium Ion Clock, check out the OASIC project on NASA's website.; For more about ...

NASA Scientists Excited to Use the Most Precise Atomic Clocks as It Will Help Them Explore Deep Space Over the years, many new amenities have been installed in space, one of them being atomic clocks.

Space Most accurate space clock to launch – and count down to destruction. A network of Earth's best clocks will be synchronised with the most accurate one ever sent into space.

There are hundreds of atomic clocks in orbit right now, perched on satellites all over Earth. We depend on them for GPS location, Internet timing, stock trading and even space navigation.

Courtesy of Ball. When NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope launched in late 2021 the work for some scientists was just beginning. As the observatory reached its deep-space destination, its 18 hexagonal ...

While clock synchronization is currently done using GPS, this protocol could make it possible to precisely synchronize clocks in places where GPS access is limited, like the moon or deep space.

Time dilation, brought about by the relativistic expansion of space, has resulted in the observed slowing of 'clocks' in the early universe. Time has been observed passing more slowly in quasars ...
