This breakthrough in precision timing is about the size of your fingernail and only loses one second every 30,000 years. Reading time 2 minutes This tiny cube fits on the tip of your finger and also ...

India's indigenous satellite navigation system, Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC), is facing scrutiny after reports that an atomic clock onboard one of its satellites has stopped ...

One of India’s four navigation satellites has failed, a setback for the NAVIC network. Satellite IRNSS-1F was lost after its atomic clock stopped functioning. Only three satellites — IRNSS-1B, ...

Physicists at CU Boulder have demonstrated a new kind of vacuum ultraviolet laser that is 100 to 1,000 times more efficient than existing technologies of its kind. The researchers say the device could ...

Twice a year, Americans reset their clocks and lose an hour of sleep. The tradition may feel like a modern nuisance, but it began as a wartime policy during World War I. At 2 a.m. local time Sunday, ...

AURORA, Colorado—Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Space Force are testing several new technologies aboard the next GPS III satellite, including a new digital atomic clock. Current GPS satellites carry a ...

To find out how clock accuracy is verified and which reference is used for comparison, we visited the Belarusian State Institute of Metrology (BelGIM), where most of the national standards are kept.
