Atomic Beam Clocks: GPS Alternative.
TL;DR
Researchers at NIST and Georgia Tech have developed a new type of miniature atomic clock called a chip-scale beam clock, which is more accessible and practical for various applications. These clocks are smaller, more stable, and require less calibration than traditional atomic clocks, making them ideal for use in areas where GPS signals are weak or unavailable.
