The UK is experimenting with utilizing mild waves to inform time, taking early steps past conventional clocks for navy purposes.
Recent trials by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) focused on atomic clocks that measure time by way of mild waves somewhat than bodily vibrations.
Researchers examined each particular person parts and full units, leaving them unattended for prolonged durations to simulate actual deployment situations on ships, submarines, and different navy settings.
