New research demonstrates that emerging high-capacity fiber optic networks could be used to connect optical clocks at various locations, enabling new scientific applications.

President Donald Trump signed executive orders Friday intended to quadruple domestic production of nuclear power within the next 25 years, a goal experts say the United States is highly unlikely to ...

Trump has signed executive orders to speed up the development of nuclear power and grant the energy secretary authority to approve advanced reactor designs and projects. The orders take authority ...

They concluded that the performance of their OFD system is sufficient to support an atomic reference with stability better than the commercially available cesium clock that has frequency ...

The European Space Agency’s ACES mission could ultimately pave the way for a global network of atomic clocks that make these measurements far more accurate.

A new atomic clock is one of the world’s best timekeepers, researchers say — and after years of development, the “fountain”-style clock is now in use helping keep official U.S. time. Known ...

Atomic clocks keep getting smaller, lower power, and better—Microchip’s latest chip-scale version leverages EXMO technology to bring its height down to half an inch.

A technological innovation could revolutionize the precision of navigation systems. A tiny device, shaped like a comb, promises to deliver unparalleled accuracy in the field of positioning.

Still trying ideas from the 2003 paper, Schumm’s lab set about embedding trillions of atoms of thorium-229 in a crystal, to boost the transition signal so that it would be easier to detect.
