Optical lattice clocks are emerging timekeeping devices based on tens of thousands of ultracold atoms trapped in an optical lattice (i.e., a grid of laser light). By oscillating between two distinct ...
Researchers at Wuhan University (WHU) in China have produced a commercially manufacturable atomic clock less than one-seventh the size of its smallest US counterpart for use in satellites, drones and ...
