Ion clock has accuracy that outlives the universe | Atomic clock has broken the record with an accuracy of 5.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ – gaining or losing one second in 57.6 billion years.
If, like me, you can't go a day without making sure your watch is synced to the second, you'll be delighted to learn that a new atomic clock has broken the record with an accuracy of 5.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ – gaining or losing one second in 57.6 billion years.
If, like me, you can't go a day without making sure your watch is synced to the second, you'll be delighted to learn that a new atomic clock has broken the record with an accuracy of 5.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ – gaining or losing one second in 57.6 billion years. Developed by a team at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as the result of 20 years of research, the new clock isn't just more accurate than any built before, it beats the record by 41% and is 2.6 times more stable than its predecessors. Unfortunately, this tick can't be read directly by a laser beam as with a cesium atom, so while the clock is extremely accurate, it keeps the time a secret known only to its quantum self.
