Researchers at MIT have created a new type of atomic clock that keeps time with more precision than current models. Their new design relies on entangled atoms and could help scientists detect dark ...

A study by physicists affiliated with the Foundational Questions Institute (FQxI) found that time ...

A compact optical lattice clock with a volume of 250 liters has been developed. The system includes a physics package for conducting spectroscopy on the clock transition within a vacuum chamber, ...

The low-energy excited state of thorium-229 (229Th) isotope nucleus has recently gained much attention owing to it being an ideal candidate for ultra-precise nuclear clocks. Building such ...

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 ...

National Semiconductor Corporation introduced a family of five precision clock conditioners that integrate all the functions required to clean and distribute ultra-low-noise clock signals throughout a ...

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 ...
