Physicists have developed the most accurate clock in the world to date. This time machine is extremely reliable; it takes more than 260 billion years to slow down one second. The relevant research results were published in “Nature” on September 23. This laboratory timer, manufactured by researchers at the National University of Singapore using the rare earth metal palladium, is 4 times more accurate than previous clocks made based on calcium ions. This device is an “optical” atomic clock that uses the frequency of visible light when elements absorb and emit light radiation to calculate time. David Leibrandt, a physicist at the University of California, Los Angeles, said its accuracy is impressive. What's even more exciting is that the research team also verified its accuracy by comparing the clock's output results.
