On the path to defining a new second

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jan 20, 2025
The future of timekeeping is being reshaped by optical atomic clocks, which operate with laser frequencies roughly 100,000 times faster than the microwave frequencies of caesium clocks, the current standard for defining the second in the International System of Units (SI). Some of these optical clocks are already 100 times more accurate than caesium clocks and are poised to redefine the second.

Our sun is essentially a searing hot sphere of gas. Its mix of primarily hydrogen and helium can reach temperatures between 10,000 and 3.6 million degrees Fahrenheit on its surface and its atmosphere's outermost layer. Because of that heat, the blazing orb constantly oozes a stream of plasma, made up of charged subatomic particles - mainly protons and electrons. The sun's gravity can't contain t

Some things just come full circle. In 1962, a no-nonsense test pilot with a gleaming bald head and steely determination strapped himself into a Mercury capsule and became the first American to orbit Earth. Now, 62 years later, another bald maverick with that same unwavering grit just launched a 322-foot rocket bearing Glenn's name straight into orbit - and did it on the first try.
