"Cryogenic optical lattice clocks" are not pretty -- they look more like giant stripped-down desktop computers than ordinary wall clocks -- but they are so precise that current technology cannot even measure them. The research team led by Hidetoshi Katori, a professor at the University of Tokyo, believes it has taken the technology way beyond the atomic clocks that are currently used to define the "second". It then measures the frequency of the vibration of the atoms, using them like "the atomic pendulum," according to the study. Researchers connected the two clocks for a month, and estimated that it would take some 16 billion years for them to develop a one-second gap. That is significantly more accurate than the caesium atom clock, used to define "one second", which can develop a one second error every 30 million years, they said.
March 10 is the 70th anniversary of the Great Tokyo Air Raid. Although Tokyo was bombed more than 100 times from November 1944 to the end of the war, the firebombing centered on the Shitamachi district in the early hours of March 10, 1945, was by far the most devastating air raid on the capital. More people were killed in the indiscriminate firebombing of March 10 than in the immediate aftermath of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. After the war, while Hiroshima and Nagasaki became symbols of Japan’s suffering and the peace movement, the Great Tokyo Air Raid was virtually excluded from public discourse. Hardly anyone wrote about the air raids that reduced the capital and most of Japan’s other cities to ashes, and the few articles that did appear in newspapers attracted little interest. For a quarter of a century after the war, while memorial services were held every year on August 6 and 9 for the victims of the atomic bombings and covered widely in newspapers and on television, the devastating firebombing campaign over Tokyo and... While school textbooks, novels, poetry and films memorialized the atomic bombing and its victims, silence reigned with respect to the firebombing raids.
The result could shed light on the nature of superconductivity and could also lead to better-engineered superconducting circuits for applications like quantum computing and ultralow-power computing. "We were able to use this knowledge to make larger-area devices, which were not really possible to do previously, and the yield of the devices increased significantly," says Yachin Ivry, a postdoc in MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics, and... Ivry works in the Quantum Nanostructures and Nanofabrication Group, which is led by Karl Berggren, a professor of electrical engineering and one of Ivry's co-authors on the paper. Among other things, the group studies thin films of superconductors. And a computer chip built from superconducting circuits would, in principle, consume about one-hundredth as much energy as a conventional chip. "Thin films are interesting scientifically because they allow you to get closer to what we call the superconducting-to-insulating transition," Ivry says. Specifically, Ivry studied niobium nitride, a material favored by researchers because, in its bulk form, it has a relatively high " critical temperature "—the temperature at which it switches from an ordinary metal to a superconductor. But like most superconductors, it has a lower critical temperature when it's deposited in the thin films on which nanodevices rely.
Willard Clock Museum highlights 100 years of clock-making in Grafton
The clock face, usually brass, was imported from England. The cases were typically made by local cabinetmakers. In the keeping room, the oldest part of the house built in 1745, there are a multitude of small 30-hour clocks, called Grafton Wall Clocks.
