By monitoring a network of synchronized atomic clocks that are spread far enough apart for a topological defect to have an effect on some clocks but not others, scientists could detect the existence ...

This global hook-up would enable countries to synchronize timekeeping standards and improve space navigation. It could also aid the exploration of fundamental physics concepts, such as the long-sought ...

Figure 1: Schematic of an optical atomic clock where optical transitions in atoms or ions are used to stabilize the frequency of a narrow-band laser to the centre of the transition. Figure 3: ...

A quantum network of atomic clocks could create even more accurate and stable time-keeping devices than present atomic clocks, reports a paper published online this week in Nature Physics. Such a ...

(TNS) — In 2003, engineers from Germany and Switzerland began building a bridge across the Rhine River simultaneously from both sides. Months into construction, they found that the two sides did not ...

At a logical level, synchronous designs are very simple and the clock just happens. But the clocking network is possibly the most complex in a chip, and it’s fraught with the most problems at the ...

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – Aeroflex Colorado Springs announced today production of their UT7R2XLR816 Clock Network Manager, featuring eight (8) independently programmable output banks. Bank ...

[Derek] wanted a clock for his media center. A simple wish, but he had a few requirements: he didn’t need an alarm, wanted it to automatically set its time after a power outage, needed a big display, ...
