[Art] certainly lives up to his username. His Rubidium-standard atomic real-time clock is surely an example of hardware art. The substrate is a collection of point-to-point soldered perfboard modules.

Doomsday Clock announcement will be held on January 28th in Washington, DC. The Bulletin’s Science and Security Board will ...

So steady are these oscillations that atomic clocks keep better time than the spinning earth itself The "pendulums" which regulate them are the vibrating parts of atoms or molecules.

In 1971, scientists used these clocks to test Einstein's ideas. One atomic clock was set up on the ground, while another was sent around the world on a jet traveling at 600 mph. At the start ...

The clock hands are set by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a group formed by Manhattan Project scientists at the University of Chicago who helped build the atomic bomb but protested using it ...

There are hundreds of atomic clocks in orbit right now, perched on satellites all over Earth. We depend on them for GPS ...

Solid-state clock Illustration of how thorium atoms are vaporized (bottom) and then deposited in a thin film on the substrate ...

A team of Chinese researchers has reportedly developed the most precise portable atomic clock ever. Small and rigid by design ...

Even your Macbook or smartphone displays time which is synchronized to the NIST-F1 clock, a cesium fountain atomic clock (aka ... the clock winds up and runs for about an hour.

Our planet is the closest it has ever been to a global nuclear holocaust, the scientific community has warned over the past ...

and smaller size mean its production could be more easily scaled up to make smaller, less expensive, more portable atomic clocks. Atomic clocks that excite the nucleus of thorium-229 embedded in a ...
