[ScienceD] Ytterbium atomic clocks set record for stability - Science Daily - 2013-08-25 Ytterbium atomic clocks set record for stability A pair of experimental atomic clocks based on ytterbium atoms at the National Institute of Standards and Technology has set a new record for stability. The clocks act like 21st-century pendulums or metronomes that could swing back and forth with perfect timing for a period comparable to the age of the universe. http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/top_news/top_technology/~3/MCswmyLlVcg/130822142209.htm |
