Researchers at the Technion have developed tiny laser devices for small atomic clocks for the industry

  • No comments
These watches have unique features including small volume and weight and low energy consumption - essential features because they are mobile components powered by batteries. The tiny clock has uses similar to those of normal atomic clocks used for example in navigation systems (GPS), synchronization between communication systems and computer systems.

A new technology for detecting microwave radiation will help in space exploration and quantum computing

  • No comments
Today, there are already several effective technologies for amplifying and detecting weak microwave signals, and some of them make it possible to detect even a single microwave particle (photon), but they require the use of superconducting materials cooled almost to the temperature of absolute zero, the Technion researchers were able to increase the necessary cooling by more than 50 degrees
