[FOTZeiss] Laser Pulses Create More Accurate Atomic Clocks

Laser Pulses Create More Accurate Atomic Clocks


The ultimate accessory in exact timekeeping — the atomic clock — is set
 to become even more precise, after ultrashort laser pulses were 
successfully transmitted across open air to help synchronize the 
"ticking" of new optical atomic clocks.

In the future, optical atomic clocks could be used for satellite-based 
experiments to prove Einstein's theory of general relativity.
