Time appeared to skip a beat last week when some of the world’s most accurate clocks were affected by a wind-induced power ...
Due to the power outage, time (very) briefly stood still at the NIST Internet Time Service facility in Boulder.
A destructive windstorm disrupted the power supply to more than a dozen atomic clocks that keep official time in the United States.
Time signals shifted by a tiny amount that only very sensitive users would find upsetting UPDATED A staffer at the USA’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) tried to disable backup ...
"As the typical uncertainty of time transfer over the public Internet is on the order of one millisecond (1/1000th of a ...
Officials said the error is likely too minute for the general public to clock it, but it could affect applications such as critical infrastructure, telecommunications and GPS signals.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology recently warned that an atomic clock device installed at its Boulder campus had failed due to a prolonged power ...
The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Internet Time Service Facility in Boulder lost power Wednesday afternoon ...
The field of optical atomic clocks, in combination with ultracold atoms, has transformed precision timekeeping and metrology. By utilising laser-cooled atoms confined in optical lattices, researchers ...
NIST scientists have published results establishing a new atomic clock, NIST-F4, as one of the world’s most accurate timekeepers, priming the clock to be recognized as a primary frequency standard — ...
