Summary

Description
English: A ytterbium clock made by combined two atomic clocks for greater stability. The ytterbium lattice clock is able to stabilize itself much faster than other clocks. For more details see https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2016/11/nist-debuts-dual-atomic-clock-and-new-stability-record.
