Microsemi Corporation introduced the release of its enhanced Quantum™ Rubidium Miniature Atomic Clock (MAC) SA.3X family. As one of the industry’s smallest, lightest and highest-performing MACs, the ...

This video is part of Microwaves & RF's IMS 2023 coverage. The video transcript below has been edited for clarity. Today, we have a nice demo of the world's lowest-power atomic clock, the chip-scale ...

For decades, atomic clocks have provided the most stable means of timekeeping. They measure time by oscillating in step with the resonant frequency of atoms, a method so accurate that it serves as the ...

CHANDLER, Ariz., Jan. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As reliance on precise frequency and timing increases due to the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) enabling 5G communication networks, data ...

The heart of a minuscule atomic clock—believed to be 100 times smaller than any other atomic clock—has been demonstrated by scientists at the Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and ...

In recent years, many physicists worldwide have introduced atomic clocks, systems to measure the passing of time that are based on quantum states of atoms. These clocks can have numerous valuable ...

Dan Thrasher looks to his computer monitor while setting up an optical table at Sandia National Laboratories, where he is testing lasers in combination with barium ions to reduce drift in miniature ...

The next generation of atomic clocks "ticks" with the frequency of a laser. This is about 100,000 times faster than the microwave frequencies of the cesium clocks which are generating the second at ...
