UK’s First Secret Quantum Clock

 


There is a top secret laboratory in the UK. They’re developing the first quantum clock in the country.  This will help both the British military intelligence and reconnaissance missions.

This amazing clock is very precise. It will lose less than one second over 1 billion years. The British Defense ministry said that the clock is “ Allowing scientists to measure time at an unprecedented scale”. 

Maria Eagle is the minister for defense procurement. She reports, “ The trialing of the emerging, groundbreaking technology could not only strengthen our operational capacity, but drive  progress in industry, bolster our science sector, and support high skilled jobs.”

The technology will decrease UK’s dependence on GPS technology. The ministry stated “(the GPS technology) Can be disrupted and blocked by adversaries.”

15 years ago at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology, the world’s first quantum clock was developed. 

This type of clock is “ The first device of its kind to be built in the UK,” said the defense ministry and that could be used by the UK military in the next five years

A quantum clock uses quantum mechanics. It uses the physics of matter and energy on the atomic scale. The clock measures the fluctuations of energy with atoms.

Governments around the world are hungry to cash in on the benefits of quantum technology. Currently, China and the US are steadily investing in quantum research, as much as 20 billion during the last five years.

Concerning the future, the defense ministry stated they could, “ See the technology decrease in size to allow mass manufacturing and miniaturization, unlocking a wide range of application, such as used by military vehicles and air aircraft.”

Mike Giradi from Stereotimes commentary on Holostage Room Treatments

I have been  friends with Mike Giradi for a few years and he has helped me test numerous designs .    I was so honored a few weeks ago when he agreed to give these Holostages a few words.  From. Mike G. The sound was a little closed in at first, but then it really opened up to prove it is another great audio product. The noise floor is greatly reduced. I am hearing details I've never heard before. When it's in the recording, the soundstage widens in all directions. The timbre of each instrument is spot on. The six Holostages installed in my room aided in the C13 alignment of air molecules to a far greater extent than the Bybee IQSE devices I had previously been using. Every instrument had greater depth, pop and presence. Listening to classical music on movie soundtracks is incredible now. The Holostages installed on my BACCH4MAC and monoblocks was the answer to what was needed. The noise floor dropped significantly in both cases resulting in greater clarity and music...

Queen Bee 🐝

  Bees hide an interesting secret. When the hive loses its queen, who alone is able to give life to the colony and maintain order in a perfectly organized society, all seems lost. The life of the hive slows down. Without new eggs, the future is lost. In a few weeks, the colony may be doomed. But the bees do not panic. Nor do they expect salvation from outside. Demonstrating extraordinary collective intelligence and profound instincts, they trigger spectacular emergency procedures, almost unimaginable in a world dominated by insects. --- ◆ The transformation begins with a simple but essential choice The worker bees choose common larvae - those who would normally be mere workers. They are nothing special. They are not born different. But their fate changes completely. They are chosen to receive a special food: royal jelly. A rare substance, produced by healthy bees, rich in proteins, vitamins and bioactive compounds. This is royal food in the purest sense of the word. The larvae fed ...

New Highly Conductive Polymer

Image
A new study from an international research team was published in the journal nature. The team has created a multi layered two dimensional polyaniline (2DPANI) crystal. The material has a unique metallic out of plane charge transport and is highly conductive. There are many different types of conducting polymers, such as polyaniline, polythiophene and polypyrrole. These polymers are best known for their electrical conductivity. They are low cost, flexible and lightweight, making them a possible alternative to traditional metals and semiconductors. Charge transport between polymer chains has been a huge challenge that scientists are addressing. Researchers from the round the world are collaborating, including Ningbo Institute of material technology and engineering (NIMTE) Of the Chinese academy of sciences ( CCAS), TU Dresden, The max Planck  Institute of microstructure physics and CIC nanoGUNE BRTA. They have developed a new 2DPANI crystal. They used a topology directed 2D depolymer...
