Nasa has put a miniaturised atomic clock in orbit that it believes can revolutionise deep-space navigation. About the size of a toaster, the device is said to have 50 times the stability of ...

Why are there atomic clocks but no nuclear clocks? After all, an atom's nucleus is typically surrounded by many electrons, so ...

The third team is developing an atomic clock for spacecraft based on strontium ... like the moon or deep space. When it comes to astronomy, the usual rule of thumb is the bigger the telescope ...

With access to a 10-MHz timebase from a cesium 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 ...

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams experiences multiple sunrises and sunsets everyday in the ISS due to ...

The method merges state-of-the-art atomic clocks with quantum computers. "Our goal is to get to the ultimate precision allowed by nature," Endres says. "We have now demonstrated the building ...

Which isn't surprising when you see what this rideshare had on board, including a Deep Space digital atomic clock made by NASA for better space-navigation tracking, an experimental propellant ...

Atomic Digital Clock Auto Set (no back light) - Using radio frequencies broadcast from NIST’s Colorado , the clock will automatically set to the correct time. Automatically adjusts to Daylight ...

on Earth is defined through an ensemble of atomic clocks around the globe. In addition to its practical and commercial applications, space-based quantum technology will enable breakthroughs in ...

It discusses the stability and accuracy of atomic frequency standards, including different types of oscillators and atomic clocks, covering recent developments and uses of these devices. The precision ...

But the River Thames is perhaps the choice for the most special deliveries - including an optical atomic clock. A flotilla of 15 boats, led by royal barge Jubilant, has carried the extremely ...
