A chip that keeps time (almost) like an atomic clock
For decades, atomic clocks have provided the most stable means of timekeeping. They measure time by oscillating in step with ...
Optical atomic clocks can increase the precision of time and geographic position a thousandfold in our mobile phones, computers, and GPS systems. However, they are currently too large and complex to ...
