Atomic clocks at the limits of timing accuracy (links)
« on: November 01, 2010, 12:42:28 PM »
Hi,
How accurately can Man measure time? The most accurate atomic clocks nowadays are Caesium fountain atomic clocks (e.g. NIST-F1 and NIST-F2), but a new generation of clocks promise even better accuracy. Here are two links to articles about recent research conducted by NIST scientists that give us a hint of where atomic clocks are going:
