Strontium clock

A Strontium clock is an advanced type of atomic clock that measures time using the vibrations of atoms, specifically strontium atoms. It works by shining laser light on the atoms, causing them to vibrate at a very precise frequency. These vibrations serve as an extremely accurate and stable time reference. Because of this precision, strontium clocks are used for scientific research, navigation systems, and testing fundamental physics. They are more accurate than traditional cesium clocks and can keep time for millions of years with minimal error.
