atomic clock. an extremely accurate electronic clock regulated by the resonance frequency of atoms or molecules of certain substances, as cesium.
An example of this is the NIST-F1 atomic clock, one of the national primary time and frequency standards of the United States. The accuracy of an atomic clock depends on two factors. The first factor is temperature of the sample atomsâcolder atoms move much more slowly, allowing longer probe times.
