Aqueduct Top: Every explorer wants to see what's on the other side of the next hill. When Sojourner, the Mars Path­ finder's rover, peered over a nearby crest on Sol (Mar- tian day) 76, it saw what appear to be sand dunes. If the stuff really is sand (a question that is still being debated), it implies the likely long-term prese.nce of liquid water-the most plausible agent for creating sand-sized grains. The Twin Peaks are on the horizon on the right; the "Big" Crater is on the left. Bottom: The rover took this picture of the lander, nesting comfortably in its deflated air bags, on Sol 33. You can see the for­ ward ramp, which sticks straight out like a diving board instead of bending down to touch the Martian surface (the rover drove off the rear ramp). And if you think you see E.T.'s face, you're not far wrong­ Pathfinder's camera has two "eyes" spaced 15 cen­ timeters apart for stereo vision.

  • Scientists Use the Tokyo Skytree to Test Einstein's Theory of General Relativity 9 April 2020

    Scientists Use the Tokyo Skytree to Test Einstein's Theory of General Relativity 9 April 2020

    Scientists use the Tokyo Skytree to test Einstein's theory of general relativity 9 April 2020 Einstein theorized that the warping of time-space by gravity was caused by massive objects. In line with this, time runs more slowly in a deep gravitational field than in a shallower one. This means that times runs slightly more slowly at the base of the Skytree tower than at the top. The difficulty with actually measuring the change in how quickly clocks run in different gravity field is that the difference is very small. Performing a stringent test of the theory of relativity requires either a very precise clock or a large difference in height. One of the best measurements so far has involved large and complex clocks such as those developed by the RIKEN group, which can measure a difference of around a centimeter in height. Outside the laboratory, the best tests have been taken by satellites, with altitudes that are thousands of kilometers different. Such space experiments have constrained any violation of general relativity to about 30 parts per million, a tremendously precise measurement that essentially shows Einstein to be correct. The scientists from RIKEN and their collaborators took up the task of developing transportable optical lattice clocks that could make comparably precise tests of relativity, but on the ground. The ultimate purpose, however, is not to prove or disprove Einstein. According to Hidetoshi Katori of RIKEN Credit: CC0 Public Domain and the University of Tokyo, who led the group, "Another major application of ultraprecise clocks is to sense and utilize the curvature of spacetime by gravity.

    Ultrahigh Precision Time Measurement Technologies Leading to a New Time-Business

    Ultrahigh precision time measurement technologies leading to a new time-business Space-time information platform with a cloud of optical lattice clocks Project Leader： Hidetoshi Katori Professor, Graduate School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo /Chief Scientist, Quantum Metrology Laboratory R&D Team：The University of Tokyo, RIKEN, NTT LTD., Shimadzu CO., JEOL Ltd., NICT, AIST, SIGMAKOKI, The University of Electro-Communications, Fukuoka University, JAXA, AISIN CORPORATION, NAOJ, GSI Summary： The optical lattice clock, taken as a ridiculous idea in 2001, has come true and changed the game for building highly precise and stable atomic clocks. In this project, we will develop a space-time information platform by networking “optical lattice clocks”, which improve the uncertainty of atomic clocks used in GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) by three orders of magnitude. Such a platform will benefit future high-capacity network systems, navigation, and other services. Since the dawn of history, mankind has elaborated technologies for timekeeping and developed applications to fully use time resources. These technologies have triggered a paradigm-shift in communication and information technologies. In order to facilitate a new breakthrough in industrial and academic fields introduced by highly-precise clocks, we will develop transportable and compact “optical lattice clocks” that allow remote maintenance and unattended operation. By networking them via phase-stabilized fibers, we will demonstrate clocks’ application to relativistic geodesy and establish a space-time information platform that will substitute GNSS. https://www.katori-project.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/index.html.

    Optical Clocks and Fiber Links 1 Introduction the Primary Microwave

    Optical clocks and fiber links J. Lodewyck LNE-SYRTE, Observatoire de Paris, PSL Research University, CNRS, Sorbonne Universit´es, UPMC Univ. Paris 06, LNE, 61 avenue de l'Observatoire 75014 Paris, France Optical clocks are now the most stable and accurate frequency standards, with performances 18 in the low 10− , outperforming by two orders of magnitude the best microwave primary stan- dards based on cesium. This opens the question of a possible redefinition of the SI (Syst`eme International) second with an optical transition. However, several operational steps have to be demonstrated before such a redefinition can be effective: reliable and interconnected clocks are necessary to realize the definition. Here, we report on several experimental advents in this direction, including the remote comparison of optical lattice clocks via phase compensated optical fiber links between different metrology institutes across Europe. 1 Introduction The primary microwave cesium clock, the cold atom fountain being its most accurate imple- mentation, are currently realizing the SI and are used to build international timescales such as TAI (Temps Atomique International) and its derivative UTC (Universal Time Coordinated). The widespread usage of fountain clocks for these application relies on four pillars. First, the availability in several metrology institutes of highly reliable atomic fountains makes possible a continuous operation. Second, these remote clocks are interconnected by satellite-based mi- crowave links, in oder to compare them. Third, repeated measurement of frequency ratios between cesium clocks and between cesium and rubidium clocks have confirmed their accuracy budget, evaluated at a few parts in 1016. Finally, regular calibrations of TAI reported to the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) make them key players in building accurate time scales 1.

Introduction 2 A remarkable result from the Viking missions to Mars in 1976 was the discovery that the Martian soil is highly magnetic, in the sense that the soil is attracted by small permanent 1 magnets [1,2]. 4 The Viking landers carried two types of permanent mag- 3 nets, a weak and a strong magnet. The surface magnetic field and surface magnetic field gradient of the strong type magnet 1 were 250 mT and 100 Tm , respectively. The corresponding 1 numbers for the weak magnet were 70 mT and 30 Tm . Both types were mounted on the backhoe of the soil sampler, where they were exposed to the soil. A strong type magnet 5 was mounted in the Reference Test Chart (RTC) which was exposed to wind born particles exclusively. At both landing sites both backhoemagnets were saturated 3 with magnetic particles after few insertions into the soil.

Although NBA has existed since shortly after Bohr's death in 1962, its future was only secured at the centennial of Bohr's birth in 1985, after a deed of gift from Bohr's wife, Margrethe, provided the opportunity to es- tablish NBA as an independent not-for-profit institution.
