For years, physicists have been trying to design clocks that can measure tiny durations of time with extreme precision. Quantum clocks, in particular, have pushed the boundaries by using the strange ...

Time appeared to skip a beat last week when some of the world’s most accurate clocks were affected by a wind-induced power ...

The quantum clock design proposed by this team of researchers challenges the long-held assumption that increasing the precision of time-keeping devices comes at a cost, namely an increase in energy ...

U.S. physicists have made a clock so accurate it will neither gain nor lose even a second in more than 200 million years, a finding sure to please even the most punctually minded. The clock, described ...

The ability to accurately measure a second in time is at the heart of many essential technologies; the most recognizable may be the Global Positioning System (GPS). In a paper accepted for publication ...

As sailors in the 17th century learned the hard way, having an accurate clock for navigation is pointless if it is too delicate to carry aboard ship. The same goes for the super accurate optical ...

Over on his secondary YouTube channel, [Jeff Geerling] recently demoed the new Mitxela Precision Clock Mk IV. This clock uses GPS to get the current time, but also your location so it can figure out ...

Tick tock: Artist's impression of a quantum clock. (Courtesy: Alexander Rommel/TU Wien) The second law of thermodynamics demands that if we want to make a clock more precise – thereby reducing the ...

Researchers have pushed the precision and stability of atomic clocks to increasingly greater levels over the last few years. A big advancement was the introduction of optical lattices, lasers which ...

The Si5321 Sonet/SDH precision clock multiplier IC is targeted at OC-48, OC-192, OC-768, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet designs. Supporting the G.709 spec, this IC locks to a 19, 29, 78, 155, 311, or 622 MHz ...
