Race for Portable Atomic Clocks
Global Race to Create the First - New Breakthrough
UK Physicists Now Steps Closer
British physicists have just made a breakthrough in the development of a portable atomic clock. Scientists from around the world have been in a race to create the first portable atomic clock. The team at the University of Sussex has moved ahead of the competition by using cutting edge laser technology.
Efficiency Improvement
Their approach has greatly improved the efficiency of the part of the clock called the lancet that does the counting. The efficiency has been improved by 80%.
Replacing Satellite Mapping like GPS
According to lead researcher Dr. Allessia Pasquazi, this moves the scientific community closer to portable atomic clocks replacing satellite mapping like GPS. The clocks work on extremely accurate geo-mapping that enables access to your location and route without satellite signals.
Life Changing
Dr. Pasquazi says within twenty years this will change people's everyday lives and further the development of driverless cars, drones and the aerospace industry. Atomic clocks lose 1 second every 10 billion years.
