What could be better than a world-leading atomic clock? Two clocks in one. Physicists have now combined two experimental atomic clocks based on ytterbium atoms to set yet another world record for clock stability. Stability can be thought of as how precisely the duration of each clock tick matches every other tick that comes before and after.
