Chinese scientists have engineered a clock so accurate it could lead to a redefinition of the second and an ultraprecise global time standard. The new optical clock is so accurate that it loses or ...

Nuclear clocks are the next big thing in ultra-precise timekeeping. Recent publications in the journal Nature propose a new method and new technology to build the clocks. Timekeeping has become more ...

A new generation of optical atomic clocks, some accurate enough to lose less than a second over the entire age of the universe, is driving an international push to replace the cesium-based definition ...

China has taken a significant step in high-precision timekeeping by mass-producing a fingernail-sized chip-scale atomic clock ...
