An Atomic Clock That Stays Cool and Can Rock and Roll Without Losing Time

In popular culture, lasers are often portrayed as portable blasters that superheat whatever they hit. Some lasers do deliver tremendous amounts of energy in reality, but for scientists and engineers, ...

In 1971, scientists bought airline seats for four atomic clocks and flew them around Earth; when they returned, their time no longer matched clocks left on the ground

In October 1971, physicists carried four caesium-beam atomic clocks aboard commercial airline flights and flew them around ...
