Scientists have invented an entirely new kind of clock. The first ever working nuclear clocks could help us better understand dark matter and other fundamental questions of the universe, according to ...

Next generation of atomic clocks is a timekeeping advance Achievement promises wide-ranging practical applications They do not yet outperform best conventional atomic clocks The clocks are based on an ...

Two teams of scientists have built the first working "nuclear clocks", which could become the world's most accurate timekeepers. The clocks could be used in navigation, mining, earthquake prediction, ...

Vietnamese-born scientist Hoang Thai is leading research at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to make ultra-precise atomic clocks small and rugged enough for deep-space missions. The principal ...

Scientists at the National University of Singapore have developed an atomic clock so accurate that it would take more than 260 billion years to lose a single second. The clock uses a single charged ...

A small Singaporean research team has beaten scientists in China and the United States to build the world’s most accurate atomic clock. The clock, built with a single ion of a rare earth metal element ...

As 5G networks expand in scale, complexity, and societal importance, the underlying timing infrastructure that keeps them synchronized has become a strategic technology domain. While radio access ...

As the world considers redefining the precise length of a second, Singapore’s Centre for Quantum Technologies has delivered a new contender for the ultimate master timekeeper. Tests of their new ...

Take a second and turn it into trillions of moments. Measure each one. That's how precisely an atomic clock at Singapore's Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) keeps time—and with record-setting ...
