If you were to point to a single device responsible for much of Hackaday’s early success, it might be the Arduino Uno. The ...

The last week of the release continued the same “lots of small fixes” trend, but it all really does seem pretty benign, so I’ve tagged the final 7.0 and pushed it out. I suspect it’s a lot of AI tool ...

For the first time, an international team of physicists has successfully harnessed a rare orbital transition in atoms of ytterbium to create a new type of atomic clock that is both highly precise and ...

QuantX Labs' Tempo optical atomic clock undergoing a test. (QuantX Labs) Adelaide-based QuantX Labs has launched an optical frequency comb into space as part of efforts to enhance optical clock ...

Denver, Colorado | Physicists are getting closer to creating a long-sought ‘nuclear clock’. This device would keep time by measuring energy transitions in the nuclei of atoms and could become the most ...

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.

All living creatures are affected by the cycles of celestial objects. Humans have always been locked into the rhythms of sunrise and sunset, the phases of the Moon, and the seasons. We left some of ...

The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has set the Doomsday Clock to 85 seconds to midnight. It is the closest the clock has ever been to midnight in its history. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists said ...
