Chinese scientists have developed a groundbreaking caesium atomic fountain clock, standing at 1.5 metres tall, designed for military use.
This clock can maintain timekeeping precision of under one-fifth of a quadrillionth of a second, despite challenging transport conditions.
The technology is crucial for synchronizing radars across vast distances, enhancing electronic warfare capabilities.
Performance tests show it achieves stability levels two magnitudes better than current US mobile atomic clocks, improving the People’s Liberation Army's military edge.
Innovative design and coding efforts were made to enhance efficiency, showcasing China’s commitment to advancing in high-precision timekeeping technology.
