Amazon Prime Video’s Countdown doesn’t waste a second—literally. In a landscape crowded with high-octane thrillers, the ...

Quantum clocks break energy limits, unlocking ultra-precise timekeeping with far-reaching tech, AI, and navigation impacts.

“The optical clock community is strongly motivated to obtain the best possible set of measurements before the SI second is ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

A Bulletin short fiction contest Announcing the Bulletin‘s new short fiction contest… Over the decades, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has published the smartest minds in the fields it covers, ...

First, the capacity to accurately characterize the stability of different clocks using the SDR is demonstrated. Experimental results then establish the ability to steer an oven controlled crystal ...

Are optical clocks ready? For decades, the global time standard has been based on an average of signals from cesium microwave atomic clocks located around the world. But as optical clocks have become ...

Quantum sensing specialist Aquark Technologies has completed a second trial of its AQlock atomic clock system, facilitated by the Disruptive Capabilities and Technologies Office (DCTO) of the UK Royal ...

Genetic bioweapons? Daily social media posts claiming that COVID-19 or mRNA vaccines are genetic weapons confirm that such tales of genetic warfare can stir emotions and gain traction. The narratives ...

High-performance atomic clocks provide the foundation for precise time measurement. Common high-performance atomic clocks in time-keeping laboratories include hydrogen masers and cesium atomic clocks.

Read John Swinney’s speech on independence at Scotland 2050 below: Thank you for that warm welcome. It is encouraging to see so many people here today, invested in the future of our country and keen ...
