If you have Date & Time turned to “Set Automatically,’' which is how your device arrives from the store, Apple devices and alarms will automatically adjust and wake us at the new current time, ...

DENVER (KDVR) — It is said that time is relative and passes differently depending on an observer’s relative motion and gravitational potential. Although some would argue time is a construct, it does ...

At this point, atomic clocks are old news. They’ve been quietly keeping our world on schedule for decades now, and have been through several iterations with each generation gaining more accuracy. They ...

The current methods for attitude determination are Star Trackers, sun sensors, magnetometers, and gyroscopes. We would like ...

Atomic clocks record time using microwaves at a frequency matched to electron transitions in certain atoms. They are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there is a new kid on the block, the ...

This particular clock is technically an ion clock, which is different from the more common atomic clocks that are based on measuring the resonant frequencies of a single cesium atom to regulate time ...

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 ...

A new version of the periodic table of elements has predicted hundreds of highly charged ions that could be used to create the next generation of optical atomic clocks. The periodic table, first ...
