Inverse spoke with Patterson about the technology behind the Cesium 133 watch, about space travel, and about how soon we’ll all own atomic watches. (Hint: Soon. But they may not be watches, per se.) ...

Last I checked, atomic clocks don’t use quartz, as by definition they rely on the atomic oscillation of a single given element, rather than a vibrating crystal of SiO4 molecules.

Inside a cesium atomic clock, cesium atoms are funneled down a tube where they pass through radio waves. If this frequency is just right 9,192,631,770 cycles per second then the cesium atoms ...

We spend a lot of time at T3 drooling over the beautiful complexity of automatic mechanical watches. But that doesn’t mean the humble quartz should be forgotten about. Quartz watches are far ...
