Russian scientists create the most accurate atomic clock in the world
A clock with inaccuracy equal to one second in three hundred million years has been launched in the capital of Russia. According to the Russian scientists who created the mechanism, their creation can be recognized as the most accurate clock in the world.
It can also be called perpetual-motion machine — its mechanism doesn’t need to be wound. The clock face is made of a colour band spectrum consisting of about one million colour dashes. Having analysed them, we can identify the time to the trillionth fraction of a second or with a higher degree of accuracy.
The first atomic clock was made back in 1968; however it hasn’t been able to succeed in widespread use. The national project which can compete with the latest foreign counterparts has quite a promising outlook. The mechanism, in particular, will enable improvement in the system of global positioning which can now have inaccuracy up to three meters while taking too much time for locating the object and sending and processing the satellite signal.
