Optical atomic clock technology may soon reach consumers
Original: Technology used by optical atomic clocks may jump from lab to consumer
New reporting suggests technology behind optical atomic clocks, currently confined to research laboratories, could move into everyday consumer applications. Optical clocks are the most precise timekeepers ever built, and miniaturising them could affect navigation, communications and network timing. Details of which products or companies would adopt the technology were not given, but the prospect of lab-grade precision entering the commercial market is drawing attention.
Why now: Fresh coverage of a potential breakthrough in taking precision atomic clock technology from research labs to commercial use
