Finnish optical clock sets new accuracy record and brings us closer to a new definition of the second
Press release 2 December, 2025 A research team at VTT MIKES has set a new record in optical-clock absolute frequency measurements using a strontium single-ion clock with exceptionally low uncertainty and high uptime. The official definition of the second is set to be updated for the first time in decades. The change will be based on new optical clocks, which are far more precise than today’s standards. Now, researchers at VTT MIKES have demonstrated a strontium single-ion optical clock with an exceptionally low systematic uncertainty of 7.9×10⁻¹⁹, among the lowest ever reported. Over

From cybersickness to effective training: exploring VR and MR
At NLR, we explore how virtual and mixed reality can transform flight simulation and the human factors involved. Simulators can be hindered by cyber sickness, a form of motion sickness that can occur when there is a mismatch between the motion you see in the virtual world and the motion you feelin the real world.
