Every time you check the time on your phone, make an online transaction, or use a navigation app, you are depending on the precision of atomic clocks. Scientists are developing next-generation atomic ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new optical atomic clock that uses a single laser and doesn't require cryogenic temperatures. By greatly reducing the size and complexity of atomic clocks without ...

For the first time in the history of optical atomic clocks, a government agency is not funding a better demonstration — it is funding a manufacturing line. DARPA awarded IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) a $28 ...
