Abstract: In order to eliminate the light shifts and to increase the stability of gas-cell atomic clocks using optical pumping of the alkali atoms, the detection of a microwave pulse-induced coherent ...

Atomic clocks that excite the nucleus of thorium-229 embedded in a transparent crystal when hit by a laser beam could yield the most accurate measurements ever of time and gravity, and even ...

In the quest for ultra-precise timekeeping, scientists have turned to nuclear clocks. Unlike optical atomic clocks—which rely on electronic transitions—nuclear clocks utilize the energy transitions in ...

That was back in 2001, when he and his colleague Christian Tamm proposed a device with the potential to be even more precise and portable than the world’s best atomic clocks. Peik’s estimate ...

The Digital Clock is a sleek and modern time display built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It showcases hours, minutes, and seconds, separated by colons. The clock is designed to be responsive, ...

Nuclear clocks achieve accuracy to the 19th decimal, surpassing atomic cl Thorium-229's nuclear transitions open new possibilities for timekeeping. Redefinition of the second using strontium may occur ...

A tiny chip-powered device has the power to replace the bulky lasers scientists use to study quantum applications and atomic ...

Noteworthy tech stories include the tech industry’s and politics, journalism, misinformation, AI, and surveillance around the ...

These advanced clocks, which use energy transitions in atomic nuclei instead of electronic transitions, could one day surpass the accuracy of current atomic clocks, opening up new possibilities ...
