Scientists are exploring a new type of optical atomic clock based on ytterbium-173 ions that could help define the future standard for measuring time.

The way time is measured is on the edge of a historic upgrade. At the heart of this change is a new kind of atomic clock that uses light instead of microwaves. This shift means timekeeping could ...

This breakthrough in precision timing is about the size of your fingernail and only loses one second every 30,000 years.

China has built a tiny, highly accurate atomic clock that could boost drones, missiles and satellite navigation, highlighting how precise timing is becoming crucial in modern warfare systems ...
