[W3AXL] picked up a rubidium reference oscillator on eBay at a low cost, and he shows us how it works in the video you can see below. He started with a GPS-disciplined oscillator he had built ...

He’s made a real-time-clock module controlled by a rubidium frequency standard, and since it also includes a GPS clock he can track local time dilation effects by comparing the two. Surplus ...

Rubidium is an alkali metal in group IA of the periodic table with atomic number 37, an atomic weight of 85.47, and a density of 1.53 Mg/m 3. Its melting point is 38.9 C, and it boils at 688 C. The ...

Perth’s Edith Cowan University and Everest Metals investigating membrane tech at Mt Edon rubidium project Metal commands crazy high prices due to widespread use in military and energy tech ...

NIST scientists have developed a new method for measuring temperature extremely accurately by using giant “Rydberg” atoms.

In a way, the story of rubidium starts in 1859 when the German chemists Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchoff invented the spectroscope and in turn opened the door to a new age of chemical analysis.

The laser is made using rubidium atoms in D2 lines, a well-defined energy level that is considered suitable for laser development. The team first passed a laser beam through rubidium vapor ...

Unfortunately, Robinson's results remain unpublished. As it turns out, rubidium is a member of a large 'family' of metals and other materials that tend to grow whiskers 5. In fact, tin ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have been able to explain how adding small amounts of cesium or rubidium salt to perovskite-based solar cells can increase performance by ...

A new strategy for measuring magnetic fields could one day lead to a host of new quantum sensors—from tools that might map out the activity of the human brain to devices that could help airplane ...

Discover how Rydberg atoms can measure temperature with unmatched precision. Read more on this breakthrough technology.

Everest Metals has banked a $128,735 R&D tax refund for its investigations into rubidium via an Australian Government scheme to fuel innovation.
