Physicists are quietly rewriting one of the most basic units in science, using a new generation of optical clocks that can keep time so precisely they barely lose a beat over the age of the universe.
Why have just one technological breakthrough when you can have two at the same time? The Royal Navy has installed for the first time a quantum clock into its XV Excalibur robotic submarine for ...
A clock built by a team led by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been estimated to be 41 percent more accurate than the previous timekeeping record holder.
