The new atomic clock called NIST-F2 is three times more accurate than the NIST-F1 atomic clock (produced in 1999). The principle of operation mainly uses cesium atomic 'fountain' systems to determine exactly the length of a second.
The International Metrology and Measurement Authority (BIPM) in Paris has officially confirmed that NIST-F2 is the most accurate atomic clock in the world today. As a result, scientists around the world will base themselves on the accuracy of this atomic clock to develop and correct the global positioning system by satellite, electricity, or copper. electronics on high-tech electronics.
In addition, the NIST atomic clock system has been officially put into use in billions of dollars in the US. It is also commonly used in the industry and in the community by synchronizing time on computers or other network devices through time services on the internet.
