Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and partners have demonstrated an experimental, next-generation atomic clock – ticking at high “optical” frequencies – that is much smaller than usual, made of just three small chips plus supporting electronics and optics.
As can be seen from the main picture, it’s smaller than a coffee bean.
Described in Optica, the chip-scale clock is based on the vibrations, or “ticks”, of rubidium atoms confined in a tiny glass container, called a vapor cell, on a chip.
Two frequency combs on chips act like gears to link the atoms’ high-frequency optical ticks to a lower, widely used microwave frequency that can be used in applications. [Read more…] about NIST unveils tiny new chip for atomic clocks
A senior executive at industrial giant Omron foresees a time in which cars virtually build themselves in factories. (See interview below.)
Bruno Adam, director of Omron’s mobile robot business director in Europe, says that in the future, factories will operate completely differently.
The current process sees car bodies moved along a linear, straight production line where different robots and people work on their assembly.

The administration of President Donald Trump has been vocal in its criticism of what it sees as Chinese companies using communications technology as a way to potentially spy on the US.
After days of speculation, Trump signed an executive order which, although does not name Huawei, effectively prevents the company from selling its products in the US, and even buying components from the US.
