For years, physicists have been trying to design clocks that can measure tiny durations of time with extreme precision. Quantum clocks, in particular, have pushed the boundaries by using the strange ...

Physicists uncover a universal limit on timekeeping precision, proving that anything from heartbeats to ocean waves can be a ...

Over on his secondary YouTube channel, [Jeff Geerling] recently demoed the new Mitxela Precision Clock Mk IV. This clock uses GPS to get the current time, but also your location so it can figure out ...

A state-of-the-art optical atomic clock is now 'ticking away.' As the first of its kind in Poland and one of just a handful of clocks of this caliber in the world, the new clock will keep track of the ...

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, ...

U.S. physicists have made a clock so accurate it will neither gain nor lose even a second in more than 200 million years, a finding sure to please even the most punctually minded. The clock, described ...

As sailors in the 17th century learned the hard way, having an accurate clock for navigation is pointless if it is too delicate to carry aboard ship. The same goes for the super accurate optical ...

The Si5321 Sonet/SDH precision clock multiplier IC is targeted at OC-48, OC-192, OC-768, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet designs. Supporting the G.709 spec, this IC locks to a 19, 29, 78, 155, 311, or 622 MHz ...
