However, aluminum is tricky. The element is difficult to measure with lasers, as well as cool to absolute zero. But when ...

There's a new record holder for the most accurate clock in the world. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and ...

A buckyball is a really cool thing - a roughly spherical cage of carbon created by taking sheets of graphene and heating them in special ways.

In the final analysis, by showing that 10 heterogenous clocks across three continents could agree with each other to within a ...

The data is in for an atomic clock sent to space in 2019 and a JPL scientist explains what the Deep Space Atomic Clock means for the future of GPS and space travel.

A recent breakthrough has paved the way for timekeeping even more precise than the measurements performed by atomic clocks.

Why atomic clocks matter As unrelated as it sounds, accurate location tracking relies on precise time measurement.

Scientists working with an early version of the cesium atomic clock in 1959. Leap seconds have been used to keep atomic time and astronomical time in sync.

Scientists from MIT have developed what they believe is the most accurate atomic clock ever constructed. The clock, which utilizes quantum entanglement of atoms and … ...

Spacecraft carrying ultraprecise atomic clocks could help uncover the identity of the invisible and mysterious substance.

Atomic clocks use these frequencies — specifically, absorbing and emitting photons at regular intervals to keep time. They are the most accurate clock we have to measure time in seconds.
