For more than two years, NASA’s Deep Space Atomic Clock has been pushing the timekeeping frontiers in space. On Sept. 18, 2021, its mission came to a successful end. The instrument is hosted on ...

In a not-so-common breakthrough towards redefining the basic unit of time, a Chinese research team at the University of Science and Technology has unveiled a groundbreaking optical clock that provides ...

An atomic clock that could pave the way for autonomous deep space travel was successfully activated last week and is ready to begin its year-long tech demo, the mission team confirmed on Friday, Aug.

A new type of miniature atomic clock could provide better timing over the span of weeks and months compared with current systems. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology ...

With the sights of the world firmly set on establishing a constant presence on the Moon, there is now a need to find ways not only to tell time on the Moon, but also coordinate it with how we measure ...
