WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 -- The U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology issued the following news:
For more than a decade, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been unveiling experimental next-generation atomic clocks. These clocks, based on ytterbium, strontium, aluminum, and mercury atoms, among others, have set records for precision and stability.
But, so what? It's all part of NIST's continual effort to improv . . .
