The extreme precision of the atomic clock’s measurement suggests the ... just the amount expected according to general relativity. What’s more, after taking data for about 90 hours, comparing ...

General relativity explains that time also slows ... which will then be matched against ground-based atomic clocks to catch even the tiniest drift. The most precise timekeepers ever built are ...

As described in Einstein’s theory of general relativity, time itself is affected ... to distances much farther than the Moon, precise atomic clocks will be crucial to help space agencies ...

The European Space Agency’s ACES mission could ultimately pave the way for a global network of atomic clocks that make these ...

Atomic clocks are the incredibly precise instruments ... it can detect tiny effects predicted by theories such as general relativity, even at the microscopic scale,” said Jun Ye, an author ...

“The interplay between general relativity [GR] and quantum entanglement ... making them extremely difficult to detect. However, atomic clocks are now reaching unprecedented precision, bringing ...

these next-generation timekeepers could reveal hidden underground mineral deposits and test fundamental theories such as general relativity with unprecedented rigor. For atomic-clock architects ...

Advances in space-qualified atomic clocks that kept time to within 10 nanoseconds over a day were a key development that made GPS possible. It turns out that GPS must account for both special ...
