The clock uses a rubidium vapor lamp and a glass cell containing rubidium. A voltage-controlled oscillator excites the cell with a 6.8 GHz signal. Rubidium atoms can exist in three states.

Using rubidium-82 for medical purposes dates back to 1954, according to a 2015 study by Jean-François Chatal, et al., a group of French medical researchers, published in Frontiers in Medicine in ...

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.

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 ...

Semenok noted that that Сs and Rb are relatively heavy atoms. “For rubidium hydride RbH9 the mass content of hydrogen is about 9.6% wt,” he said. “This is also a very good result.
