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 ...

Atomic clocks are present in many satellites in space, stated NASA.To figure out the distance of the spacecraft from Earth, navigators release a signal to the spacecraft, which then bounces back ...

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.

An atomic clock, ‘green’ propellant, and a sunlight-surfing sail are headed to space next week. SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy is sending a bunch of new technologies to orbit ...

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.

The European Space Agency’s planned eLISA observatory, due to launch in 2034, is designed to detect a different kind of wave: millihertz-range, or low-frequency, gravitational waves generated by ...

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.
