UK researchers unveil ultra-precise atomic clock that is small enough to carry by hand

Researchers at the UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have created a tiny atomic fountain ...

Innovative optical atomic clock could combine single-ion accuracy with multi-ion stability

For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more accurate clocks: optical atomic clocks. In a few years' time, they could ...
