[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 ...

Researchers have created an atomic clock that can be taken into war zones, and it could change the future of military combat ...

Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by using the quantum behavior of atoms to measure time. Discover how these incredibly precise clocks ...

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 ...

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

Researchers have now found a way to make nuclear clocks a thousand times less radioactive and more cost-effective, thanks to ...

That big grandfather clock ... fountain atomic clock — no less a clock than the one that’s used to define the SI second, by the way — [Daniel] looked for ways to sync the clock up to it.

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

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

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 ...

but it is absolutely critical for applications ranging from testing relativity to navigating down the road. Atomic clocks, such as those used on the Global Navigation Satellite System network, ...
