(TNS) — In 2003, engineers from Germany and Switzerland began building a bridge across the Rhine River simultaneously from both sides. Months into construction, they found that the two sides did not ...

QuantX personnel conducting environmental testing on the optical frequency comb, which is a key optical atomic clock technology that will be launched into space for testing. (QuantX Labs) ...

Nasa, in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), has launched two state-of-the-art atomic clocks to the International Space Station (ISS) as part of the Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space ...

The European Space Agency’s ACES mission could ultimately pave the way for a global network of atomic clocks that make these measurements far more accurate. In 2003, engineers from Germany and ...

The most accurate clock in space launches within days and will begin building a highly synchronised network out of the best clocks on Earth. But the project, decades in preparation, will only operate ...

The European Space Agency (ESA) is getting ready for the launch of an atomic clock system that aims to validate elements of Einstein’s theory of general relativity but could have implications for more ...

A new comb-like computer chip could be the key to equipping drones, smartphones and autonomous vehicles with military-grade positioning technology that was previously confined to space agencies and ...
