Japan Introduces World’s Most Precise Clock for $3.3 Million
Japan has introduced the world's most precise clock, priced at $3.3 million. It is a "strontium optical lattice clock," which is 100 times more accurate than caesium atomic clocks. The Aether clock OC 020 has the potential to redefine time measurement and support groundbreaking research worldwide.
Japan has unveiled the world's most precise clock, now available for purchase at $3.3 million. The "Aether clock OC 020," developed by Kyoto-based Shimadzu Corp, is so accurate that it would take 10 billion years to lose or gain a single second.
This cutting-edge timepiece is classified as a "strontium optical lattice clock." It surpasses the widely used caesium atomic clocks by a factor of 100 in accuracy. The device, about one meter (three feet) tall with a volume of 250 liters, is more ...
