Countries step up research into sophisticated clocks as wars and accidents expose vulnerabilities in crucial timing systems ...

Super-precise atomic clocks will likely open a host of possibilities that even we can’t fully imagine, much like how the original adoption of GPS in the 1980s eventually gave us real-time ride ...

There are also enhanced primary reference time clocks (ePRTCs), which are usually connected to GPS and cesium clocks for resiliency. Often, carriers now are not even using GPS there.

Time dilation, a captivating concept embedded in Einstein’s theory of relativity, has been experimentally validated on Earth.

Thanks to Einstein's theory of relativity, numerous tests have concluded tangible effects on how we on Earth record and measure the passing of time.

An integrated temperature sensor feeds precise data to compensation algorithms, helping maintain clock stability. This improves GPS accuracy and reduces lock time, enabling stable performance even in ...

But given this amazing ability to measure time, we still don’t know what time actually is.” (“Time, Clocks, and GPS,” November-December 1991.) I procrastinated the task of writing this editorial and ...

According to scientists at NIST in Boulder, their newest atomic clock, the NIST-F4, will help track time more precisely and help put global time on a more accurate frequency.
