You know when you dial a number, and a man reads you the exact time at the tone? That precise timekeeping starts at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C. NPR's Linda Wertheimer takes a tour. We're ...

We think of crystals as the gold standard of frequency generation. However, if you want real precision, you need something either better than a crystal or something that will correct for tiny errors — ...

Scientists from the MIT and Harvard have figured out a way to connect individual atoms of rubidium using lasers. This new technique could further accelerate the development of ultra-powerful quantum ...

Green Technology Metals defines a maiden rubidium resource New estimate sits alongside one of GT1’s large Canadian lithium resources The in-demand critical mineral offers substantial strategic value ...

Granada Gold Mine (TSXV:GGM) has provided the first rubidium resource estimate for its flagship gold project of the same name in Quebec. The estimate is based on the mineralization in one drill hole ...
