For all our telescopes and colliders, dark matter has remained an elusive ghost for the better part of a century. It ...

CHICAGO -- The Doomsday Clock has been set to its closest time to midnight in its history, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists announced Tuesday. The clock has now been set to 90 seconds to midnight ...

The current methods for attitude determination are Star Trackers, sun sensors, magnetometers, and gyroscopes. We would like ...

BRAUNSCHWEIG, Germany — Time measurement is entering a new era. The next generation of atomic clocks uses laser light instead of microwaves to track time, oscillating about 100,000 times faster than ...

This research suggests that even chaotic, unpredictable phenomena, like waves on a shore or the beating of a heart, can be ...

Atomic clocks use quantum physics and the resonant frequency of atoms, like cesium, to define time. Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by ...

DENVER (KDVR) — It is said that time is relative and passes differently depending on an observer’s relative motion and gravitational potential. Although some would argue time is a construct, it does ...

Atomic clocks record time using microwaves at a frequency matched to electron transitions in certain atoms. They are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there is a new kid on the block, the ...

The field of optical atomic clocks, in combination with ultracold atoms, has transformed precision timekeeping and metrology. By utilising laser-cooled atoms confined in optical lattices, researchers ...

The Air Force Research Laboratory seeks input about ways groups of drones can function together without traditional means of ...

Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by using the quantum behavior of atoms to measure time. Discover how these incredibly precise clocks work, ...
