Atomic clocks could catch time going quantum, measuring ticking that goes faster and slower at the same time

About a decade ago, physicists put forward a theory that proposes how to investigate the quantum nature of time. It can be ...

Breakthrough ion clock experiments reveal that time can go quantum

Time already behaves strangely in modern physics. It can stretch, slow, and split depending on speed and gravity.

Physicists revive 1990s laser concept to propose a next-generation atomic clock

Researchers in the US and Germany have unveiled a theoretical blueprint for an atomic clock driven by a highly synchronized ...

Using atomic nuclei could allow scientists to read time more precisely than ever

Most clocks, from wristwatches to the systems that run GPS and the internet, work by tracking regular, repeating motions.

Microchip Increases Manufacturing Capacity of its Hydrogen Masers

A hydrogen maser is an atomic clock that uses properties of hydrogen atoms to emit precise microwave frequencies for highly stable and precise timekeeping. Hydrogen masers are deployed globally and ...
