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.

Researchers demonstrated a new optical atomic clock that uses a single laser and doesn't require cryogenic temperatures. By greatly reducing the size and complexity of atomic clocks without ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology have built a compact laser system that suppresses frequency noise by more than 140 decibels, a performance level that could ...

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 ...

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 ...
