Atomic Clocks Could Catch Time Going Quantum, Measuring Ticking That Goes Faster And Slower At the Same Time

Over the last few years, optical atomic clocks have broken record after record in precision timekeeping. Atoms are cooled to ...

Breakthrough ion clock experiments reveal that time can go quantum

Time already behaves strangely in modern physics. It can stretch, slow, and split depending on speed and gravity.

Using atomic nuclei could allow scientists to read time more precisely than ever – what this research could mean for future clocks

Atomic clocks exploit the properties of atoms to create incredibly precise 'ticks.' Nate Phillips, NIST Most clocks, from ...
