Real-time clocks (RTCs) continue to evolve, keeping pace with changes in their use and application by becoming smaller and more accurate. A major driver behind this evolution and adaptation is a new ...

A clock built by a team led by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been estimated to be 41 percent more accurate than the previous timekeeping record holder.

For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more accurate clocks: optical atomic clocks. In a few years' time, they could ...

With the introduction of the DS3231 extremely accurate, I²C-compatible, integrated RTC/TCXO/crystal, Dallas Semiconductor has redefined the accuracy expectations of a stand-alone, real-time clock. The ...

Accuracy may come at a cost. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. What’s the price of an accurate clock? Entropy, a new study has ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) U.S. has set a new world record for the most accurate aluminum ion-based optical atomic clock. This clock sets a new time-keeping benchmark, ...

The world’s most accurate clock now belongs to researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Its new optical atomic clock, built around a single trapped aluminum ion, can ...
