What is the Correct Time? The Development of Time Scales from GMT to UTC and their Implementation in

Asking somebody the time may be one of today's most common questions but have you ever wondered where the time on our watches comes from? Accurate clocks have only been around since the mid 17th century, before then, time was completely subjective. Peo... Read >

A Look At The Technology Behind Wall Atomic Analogue Clocks

No timepiece is likely to escape inaccuracy; at least this is what we believed before the invention of the wall atomic analogue clocks. Such items use atomic resonance frequency standard in order to work their accuracy and feed the incorporated counter. T... Read >

Using Atomic Clocks as External NTP Timing References

Atomic Clocks have been around for over fifty years or so. They are clocks that use an atomic resonance frequency as its timekeeping element rather than conventional oscillating crystals such as quartz. Most atomic clocks use the resonance of the atom ... Read >
