The accuracy of this one was one-second in 12 years, although nowhere close to the atomic clocks but was quite relied upon in the olden days. This clock had a pendulum in a vacuum tank connected to electrical wires. This clock helped the scientists to know that the rotation of the Earth was in consistent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The NIST F2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Image Source : Nist.Gov<\/p>\n<p>After a decade of research, The National Institute of Standards and technology (NIST) unveiled the NIST F2 in 2014. The accuracy of this Atomic clock is one-second in 300 million years as per the Colorado based NIST. This is a cesium based atomic fountain clock, where the frequency of the cesium atoms is used to measure a second using microwave radiations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Aluminum Quantum Logic Clock<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-101805\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2015\/06\/The-Aluminum-Quantum-Logic-Clock.jpg\" alt=\"The Aluminum Quantum Logic Clock\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2015\/06\/The-Aluminum-Quantum-Logic-Clock.jpg 800w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2015\/06\/The-Aluminum-Quantum-Logic-Clock-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2015\/06\/The-Aluminum-Quantum-Logic-Clock-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p><div class=\"38520354a5201685ddf480eec688e1a7\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Image Source : scx1.b-cdn.net<\/p>\n<p>In this atomic clock, instead of cesium, an aluminum atom along with a beryllium atom is used to measure a second. The accuracy of this clock is said to be one-second in 3.7 million years. This atomic clock was built by the NIST in 2010. Laser is used to chill down the aluminum and beryllium atom to absolute zero temperature and another laser is used to makes changes in these atoms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The NIST clock<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Image Source : Nist.Gov<\/p>\n<p>This is the result of collaboration between Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The precision of this clock is one-second in 5 billion years. The clock uses strontium in lieu of cesium atoms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cryogenic optical lattice clock<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Image Source : Histerius.Com<\/p>\n<p>Last but not the least, in fact the most accurate clock of all time with an accuracy of one-second in 16 Billion years. The clock has been developed in Japan under the leadership of Professor Hidetoshi Katori of the University of Tokyo. In this optical lattice clock strontium atoms are trapped by laser and cooled to -180\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>Since the introduction of the atomic cesium clock in 1955, there have been many breakthroughs in the field of technology including the global positioning system. The Optical lattice clock technology will help the scientists to study a variety of phenomenon with precision, especially the geological ones like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>]]&gt;<\/p>\n<div class=\"38520354a5201685ddf480eec688e1a7\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n          <p><a id=\"link-15\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\" id=\"img-15\" src=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n            <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n              if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"link-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('href',myObj.url);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"img-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('src','https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/uploads\/'+myObj.image);\r\n              }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/api\/Ads\/15\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        <style>\r\n        *{box-sizing:border-box}.top-container{display: grid;grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;}.column{float:left;width:100%;padding: 0 7.5px 15px 7.5px;}.row{margin:0 -5px}.row:after{content:\"\";display:table;clear:both}@media screen and (max-width: 600px){.top-container{display: block;grid-template-columns: unset;}.column{width:100%;display:block;margin-bottom:20px}}.card{text-align:center;}.card_image img{width:100%}.card_body{padding:15px}.card_title{font-size: 14px;line-height: 19px;text-decoration: none;text-align:left;color: #333;}.card-heading{text-align: left;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}\r\n        <\/style>\r\n        <div class=\"row todays-top\">\r\n            <h3 class=\"card-heading\"> Recent Articles: <\/h3><div class=\"top-container\" id=\"todays-top\">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n            var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText); \r\n            myObj.forEach(function(item) {\r\n            document.getElementById('todays-top').innerHTML += '<div class=\"column\"><div class=\"card\"><div class=\"card_image\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"'+item.image+'\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"card_body\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><h3 class=\"card_title\">'+item.title+'<\/h3><\/a><a href=\"'+item.url+'\">Read more<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>';\r\n            });\r\n            }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Drprem_blogs\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.videoWrapper{position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0}.videoWrapper iframe{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"videoWrapper\" id=\"video_7\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                document.getElementById(\"video_\"+myObj.id).innerHTML = myObj.embed_video_code;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            }\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            };\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Videos\/7\", true);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.send();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;![CDATA[The accuracy of time required by scientists is in a billionth of a second and for decades, they have worked to develop a technology that could measure time so accurately.
