Breakthrough could pave the way for next-generation GPS in drones, smartphones and self-driving cars, scientists say.

Atomic Digital Clock Auto Set (no back light) - Using radio frequencies broadcast from NIST’s Colorado , the clock will automatically set to the correct time. Automatically adjusts to Daylight ...

With access to a 10-MHz timebase from a cesium fountain atomic clock — no less a clock than the one that’s used to define the SI second, by the way — [Daniel] looked for ways to sync the ...

The satellites that make the GPS in your car and smartphone work consist of many atomic clocks. About 400 such atomic clocks are currently operational, providing real-time locations that are ...

That way, frequency combs act like a bridge between the atomic transition at an optical frequency and the clock signal at a radio frequency that is electronically detectable for counting the ...

It keeps such great time by periodically syncing with the atomic clock in Mainflingen, Germany. The core of the project is an ATMega328 which uses the new DCF77 library for decoding the signal ...

"Fortunately, our microcomb chips can act as a bridge between the optical signals of the atomic clock and the radio frequencies used to count the atomic clock's oscillations. Moreover, the minimal ...

They may also set themselves according to atomic clocks. They even adjust when we travel into different time zones if they are taken out of airplane mode upon arrival. A radio-controlled clock ...

Getty Images NPL's atomic clock, alongside clocks from around 80 labs worldwide, helps set Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), the official global time standard To pinpoint our exact location ...
