How some of the world’s most precise clocks missed a very small beat. By Mike Ives and Adeel Hassan Time appeared to skip a beat last week when some of the world’s most accurate clocks were affected ...

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Power shut off across Colorado last week as hurricane-force winds swept across the state. In Boulder, one of those outages caused time to briefly stand still ...

Scientists in Toronto have unveiled a chilling breakthrough, a laser-regulated atomic clock cooled to just five degrees above absolute zero, promising a leap in timekeeping accuracy unlike anything ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

Atomic clocks will only see a loss of 1 second in accuracy over a period of 10 million years. They are used in multiple ways, including the GPS in your car. Now researchers have found a way to bypass ...

Optical atomic clocks just took a clean step forward. An MIT team reports a method that cuts quantum noise and lets a clock resolve twice as many ticks as before. The work centers on ytterbium atoms ...

Microchip Technology announces its portfolio of GNSS Disciplined Oscillator (GNSSDO) Modules that integrate the company’s renowned embedded atomic clock and oscillator technologies, including the Chip ...

At this point, atomic clocks are old news. They’ve been quietly keeping our world on schedule for decades now, and have been through several iterations with each generation gaining more accuracy. They ...
