American researchers at JILA built world's most precise atomic clock

American researchers at JILA developed the world's most precise light-based atomic clock, capable of detecting gravity at a microscopic scale and providing a more accurate definition of a second. By illuminating atoms with visible light and using an optical lattice to measure 10,000 atoms simultaneously, the clock minimizes errors and pushes the boundaries of atomic clock technology. This advancement has implications for scientific research and practical applications.
