Researchers at Vector Atomic have developed a revolutionary new atomic clock that boasts both exceptional precision and remarkable portability. Unlike its bulky lab-bound predecessors, this innovative clock utilizes oscillating iodine molecules and is remarkably compact, roughly the size of three shoeboxes and weighing only 26 kilograms. This makes it a perfect fit for deployment on virtually any ship.
The true marvel lies in the clock’s accuracy. Vector Atomic claims it surpasses the performance of existing shipboard clocks by a staggering 1,000 times. This translates to significantly improved positioning capabilities, potentially reducing errors to mere centimeters.
