Accurate Measurement of Time
2012
Overview
Matson and Jabr provide an excerpt from Accurate Measurement of Time, an article by Wayne M. Itano and Norman F. Ramsey that won the Nobel Prize in 1989. New technologies, relying on the trapping and cooling of atoms and ions, offer every reason to believe that clocks can be 1,000 times more precise than existing ones. One of the most promising depends on the resonance frequency of trapped, electrically charged ions. Trapped ions can be suspended in a vacuum so that they are almost perfectly isolated from disturbing influences. Hence, they don't suffer collisions with other particles or with the walls of the chamber.
