World's Most Precise ClockResearchers have developed a new type of atomic clock that is significantly more stable and therefore far more precise than the current technology in use. Experiments suggest the clock is accurate to about one second in a 100 million years.

It works on the same basic principle that microwave atomic clocks have employed since the 1950s, but utilises optical (visible) light, which being of a higher frequency, provides more accurate timekeeping. The new optical atomic clock’s creators say that their new timepiece will provide “an even finer-grained view of the physical world.” Read the rest of this entry
