In-orbit operation of an atomic clock based on laser-cooled 87Rb atoms

In-orbit operation of an atomic clock based on laser-cooled 87Rb atoms

Cold atom clocks are among the most precise measuring devices and play key roles in everyday life and scientific explorations. Here the authors demonstrate the first in-orbit atomic clock using cold Rb atoms operating in microgravity and opening possibilities of space surveys and tests of fundamenta...
