L-R: Dr Ashby Hilton, Dr Elizaveta (Liz) Klantsataya and Dr Sarah Watzdorf working on a prototype of a next-generation portable atomic clock. Time is almost up on the way we track each second of the ...
Researchers from UC Santa Barbara and the University of Massachusetts Amherst have, for the first time, demonstrated a chip-scale, stabilized, visible light laser that drives a trapped ion atomic ...
Optical lattice clocks are emerging timekeeping devices based on tens of thousands of ultracold atoms trapped in an optical lattice (i.e., a grid of laser light). By oscillating between two distinct ...
Scientists have created a clock so precise it could redefine the second. The strontium optical lattice clock is one of the most accurate timepieces ever made, capable of measuring seconds to 19 ...
