The goal of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA’s) Chip-Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC) program is to provide warfighters with enhanced radio communications and jam-resistant navigation ...

DARPA has announced a new initiative called the Robust Optical Clock Network (ROCkN) program, which will look to develop a practical, super-accurate optical atomic clock that is robust and small ...

Researchers at the UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have created a tiny atomic fountain clock. It is only 5 percent the size of a normal one but keeps the same high-precision time. The clock’s ...

Small timekeeping errors can lead to substantial problems for many applications that depend on precise timing. For example, radio navigation systems, such as GPS, work by comparing the time it takes ...

Clocks come in many styles and sizes, with perhaps the most visually pleasing ones involving marbles. Watching these little spheres obey gravity and form clearly readable numbers on a clock has ...

Why bother with an old-fashioned clock when you can have one that tells you the time with a poem. Designer and blogger Matt Webb has created an ingenious little device that uses the Internet’s new ...
