It’s clock time again on Hackaday, this time with a lovely laser-cut biretrograde clock by [PaulH175] over on Instructables. If you’ve never heard of a ‘biretrograde clock,’ well, we hadn’t either.
Phase-coherent lasers are crucial for many precision tasks, including timekeeping. Here on Earth the most stable optical ...
Developers used shallow “web” of laser light to trap atoms, instead of previous optical lattice. The red dot is a reflection of the laser light used to create the atom trap. Enabling pinpoint ...
Established as a provider of high-end lasers and laser rack systems, Toptica has this week announced at LASER world of Photonics that is offering its first complete quantum technology solution: a ...
By replacing single atoms with an entangled pair of ions, physicists in Germany have demonstrated unprecedented stability in ...
The time is nigh for nuclear clocks. In a first, scientists have used a tabletop laser to bump an atomic nucleus into a higher energy state. It’s a feat that sets scientists on a path toward creating ...
An artist's rendition of the scandium nuclear clock: scientists used the X-ray pulses of the European XFEL to excite in the atomic nucleus of scandium the sort of processes that can generate a clock ...
An ultra-precise measurement of a transition in the hearts of thorium atoms gives physicists a tool to probe the forces that bind the universe. At 11:30 one night in May 2024, a graduate student, ...
Researchers from Los Angeles, Munich, and Mainz open new avenues for nucleus-based quantum technologies A research team from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Ludwig Maximilian ...
Scientists are proposing to build a laser inside a crater on the Moon to help future lunar missions land safely in darkness and navigate the surface with unprecedented precision. This ultra-stable ...
To measure time, you need a constant rhythm. For eons, the regular movements of the sun and moon have set the pace for all of life on Earth. But over millennia, humans have sought and found more ...
