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 ...
NIST traced the problem to its Boulder, Colorado campus, where a prolonged utility power outage disrupted operations. The outage occurred during high winds that damaged power lines and triggered ...
NIST restored the precision of its atomic clocks after a power outage caused by a power outage disrupted operations. Discover how this crucial recovery ensures the accuracy of global timekeeping.
Due to the power outage, time (very) briefly stood still at the NIST Internet Time Service facility in Boulder.
A destructive windstorm disrupted the power supply to more than a dozen atomic clocks that keep official time in the United States.
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 ...
What the Clock: Internet time servers are a critical part of the infrastructure used by companies and organizations that rely on atomic clocks to keep accurate time. A US agency responsible for ...
Markus Lutz is CTO and Founder of SiTime Corporation. He is a MEMS expert, a prolific entrepreneur and inventor who holds over 100 patents. Timekeeping might be the unsung hero of human ingenuity. 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 heart of a minuscule atomic clock—believed to be 100 times smaller than any other atomic clock—has been demonstrated by scientists at the Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and ...
For more than two years, NASA’s Deep Space Atomic Clock has been pushing the timekeeping frontiers in space. On Sept. 18, 2021, its mission came to a successful end. The instrument is hosted on ...
