The current methods for attitude determination are Star Trackers, sun sensors, magnetometers, and gyroscopes. We would like ...

Time dilation, a captivating concept embedded in Einstein’s theory of relativity, has been experimentally validated on Earth. With the use of ultra-precise clocks, scientists have been able to ...

The core mission of the standard time synchronization clock is to acquire and distribute a highly precise, unified time ...

Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by using the quantum behavior of atoms to measure time. Discover how these incredibly precise clocks work, ...

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 ...

The reconciliation of general relativity and quantum mechanics is one of the biggest challenges in science, one that continues to elude us. Now, a new study by Anjun Chu and colleagues has examined ...

For all our telescopes and colliders, dark matter has remained an elusive ghost for the better part of a century. It ...

It is the first time that dinosaur eggs have been dated using carbonate uranium-lead dating. The post New ‘atomic clock’ ...
