Breakthrough could pave the way for next-generation GPS in drones, smartphones and self-driving cars, scientists say.

JILA researchers are pioneering a nuclear clock using thorium-229, which offers unprecedented stability compared to atomic ...

For decades, atomic clocks have been the pinnacle of precision timekeeping, enabling GPS navigation, cutting-edge physics ...

However, atomic clocks are now reaching unprecedented precision ... this is one of the first instances of the protocol being used to fine-tune gravitational effects. The tunability is based on the ...

Results indicate that the closer the Doomsday Clock ticks to midnight, the higher the rates are for mortality specific to ...

En-route to nuclear clocks, researchers have found a resonant mode in thorium atom nuclei with a low temperature coefficient - nuclear oscillators are ...

Most atomic clocks use microwave frequencies to induce these energy oscillations in atoms. In recent years, researchers in the field have explored the possibility of using laser instead to induce ...
