atomic clocks

     

An atomic clock is a type of clock that uses an atomic resonance frequency stanard as its timekeeping element. They are the most accurate time and frequency standards known, and are used as primary standards for international time distribution services, and to control the frequency of television broadcasts and GPS satellite signals.
