Using atomic nuclei could allow scientists to read time more precisely than ever – what this research could mean for future clocks

(THE CONVERSATION) Most clocks, from wristwatches to the systems that run GPS and the internet, work by tracking regular, repeating motions. To build a clock, you need something that ticks in a ...

Entangled Time: Pushing Atomic Clocks Beyond the Standard Quantum Limit

Imagine you're trying to keep time by listening to a room full of people clapping. If everyone claps randomly, it’s hard to tell the rhythm. But if they clap in sync, the beat becomes clear and steady ...

Physicists Just Built the First-Ever Nuclear Clock

But physicists have long dreamt of even better clocks that run on atomic nuclei, which are less sensitive to environmental ...

Nuclear clocks tick for the first time

Two independent research teams have achieved a longstanding goal in physics: building a working nuclear clock. The devices, ...

Atomic clocks may be powerful enough to detect the quantum fabric of time

Time feels familiar. It marks every moment of daily life, from the ticking of a wall clock to the changing numbers on a smartphone screen. Yet despite its constant presence, time remains one of the ...

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. To build a clock, you need something that ticks in a perfectly repeatable way.
