Markus Lutz is CTO and Founder of SiTime Corporation. He is a MEMS expert, a prolific entrepreneur and inventor who holds over 100 patents. Timekeeping might be the unsung hero of human ingenuity. The ...

From freeze-dried strawberries to memory foam and scratch-resistant glasses, space exploration is the force behind a myriad of life-changing innovations. Now it’s time for a terrestrial innovation to ...

Nuclear clocks are the next big thing in ultra-precise timekeeping. Recent publications in the journal Nature propose a new method and new technology to build the clocks. Timekeeping has become more ...

Atomic clocks are based upon quartz crystals. These crystals vibrate at a very uniform rate when an electric current is passed through them. By measuring minute variations in those vibrations over ...

Time crystals are an oddity of quantum physics, but new calculations show that these bizarre materials could be useful for building very accurate clocks. All crystals are defined by repetition – ...
