This time, NIST focused on stability, or how identical the ticks are.
这次,NIST 专注于稳定性,或者刻度线相同程度。
Forty-five years ago, Judah and a team of scientists at NIST developed a system for the atomic clock, that tracks time more accurately than ever before in the U.S., linking old phones, power grids, financial markets, you name it.
45 年前,Judah 和 NIST 组科学家开发了个原子系统, 在美国比以往任何候都更准确地跟踪间,连接旧手机、电网、金融市场, 应有尽有。
At least, according to research announced this week from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST, in the U.S. Atomic clocks are named for the atoms inside that oscillate rapidly and reliably between two energy states.
至少,根据美国国家标准与技术研究院 (NIST) 本周宣布研究,美国原子以内部原子在两种能态之间快速可靠地振荡而得名。
