GPS 100 times more accurate: Optical atomic clock could bring centimeter precision
The satellites that make the GPS in your car and smartphone work consist of many atomic clocks. About 400 such atomic clocks ...
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, ...

There are no true self-driving cars available today. Certain systems do, however, come somewhat close to this in limited ...
The Department of Defense has awarded quantum technology firm Infleqtion an $11 million contract to help it speed up the development of its atomic timing technology. Atomic clocks are one of the most ...
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 way time is measured is on the edge of a historic upgrade. At the heart of this change is a new kind of atomic clock that uses light instead of microwaves. This shift means timekeeping could ...
The next generation of atomic clocks “ticks” at the frequency of a laser. That is around 100,000 times faster than the microwave frequencies of the caesium clocks that currently generate the second.
Craig has worked in automotive media for nearly 20 years, producing content for publications ranging from Autoline and AutoGuide to Roadshow by CNET and EV Pulse. Aside from writing, he’s also ...
