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 ...

The world’s most precise atomic clock has confirmed that the time dilation predicted by Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity works on the scale of millimetres. Physicists have been ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

According to the Einstein theory of relativity, it actually does—in ... he will match the rate of incoming pulses against a cesium clock, an atomic timer that is accurate to one part in 10 ...

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 ...

The tick of the world clock depends on hundreds of atomic oscillators positioned ... space committee wants a standard lunar clock Special relativity explained: Einstein's mind-bending theory ...

I expect that eventually some of the kinds of experiments we are currently doing in my lab to test relativity and search for new physics with atomic clocks will instead be performed with nuclear ...
