As its name implies, the Bathys Cesium 133 Cesium-133 is used, which provides high precision, so that the clocks have an error of 1 second for 1000 years. Price of the device is $ 12,000.

Ultra-precise atomic clock based on ytterbium https://www.raqwe.com/ultra-precise-atomic-clock-based-ytterbium/ https://www.raqwe.com/ultra-precise-atomic-clock-based-ytterbium/#comments Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:03:47 +0000 http://www.raqwe.com/?p=5202 Researchers from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology have created ultra-precise atomic clock with an accuracy of 1 second for 3 centuries. At the core of the invention – the material ytterbium, cooled to a temperature of 10 mK, which is a few millionths of a degree above absolute zero, and a laser with a wavelength of 578 nanometers. Atomic clocks, due to its accuracy, can be used to study the effect of gravity on time, but the current model has the size of a large dining table and scientists have to find a way to reduce it to the possibility of installing a satellite or spacecraft.
