Aluminum Ion Drives Most Precise Quantum Logic Clock EverBoulder CO (SPX) Feb 05, 2010 Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built an enhanced version of an experimental atomic clock based on a single aluminum atom that is now the world's most precise clock, more than twice as precise as the previous pacesetter based on a mercury atom. The new aluminum clock would neither gain nor lose one second in about 3.7 billion years, according to measurements to be reported in Physical Review Letters. The new clock is the second version of NIST's " ... read more |
