An experimental atomic clock based on a single mercury atom is now at least five times more precise than the national standard clock based on a “fountain” of cesium atoms, according to a paper by ...
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced that a new experimental atomic clock based on a single mercury atom is now at least five times more precise than NIST-F1, the ...
WASHINGTON — Mercury atoms keep better time than cesium atoms. That's what physicists found when they built an experimental atomic clock based on a single mercury atom. Researchers at the National ...
BOULDER, Colo.- An atomic clock that uses an aluminum atom to apply the logic of computers to the peculiarities of the quantum world now rivals the world's most accurate clock, based on a single ...
