Viewbix: Quantum Atom Accuracy, Achieved Significant Results Introducing a Novel Atomic Clock Enabling High Accuracy, Robustness and Enhanced Coherence Timing
Physicists at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics have developed a new atomic clock that is so accurate, it will not lose a second of time in more than 200 million years. That makes the ...
For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more accurate clocks: optical atomic clocks. In a few years' time, they could ...
A low-noise chip-scale atomic clock (LN-CSAC), the SA65-LN from Microchip, features a profile height of less than 0.5 in. (12.7 mm). Aimed at aerospace and defense applications where size, weight, and ...
AOL: New optical atomic clock is 1,000x more accurate than today's standard
The way time is measured is on the edge of a historic upgrade. At the heart of this change is a new kind of atomic clock that uses light instead of microwaves. This shift means timekeeping could ...

2025 One Hertz Challenge: Atomic Decay Clock Is Accurate But Not Precise
The next generation of atomic clocks "ticks" at the frequency of a laser. That is around 100,000 times faster than the microwave frequencies of the caesium clocks that currently generate the second.
Yahoo: US firm’s atomic clock for military use offers precision in extreme temperatures

For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more accurate clocks: optical atomic clocks. In a few years’ time, they could ...
For decades, atomic clocks have provided the most stable means of timekeeping. They measure time by oscillating in step with the resonant frequency of atoms, a method so accurate that it serves as the ...
Phys.org: Ytterbium atomic clock could open a new window on fundamental physics
For the first time, an international team of physicists has successfully harnessed a rare orbital transition in atoms of ytterbium to create a new type of atomic clock that is both highly precise and ...
eng.belta: Who sets the exact time? Discover what atomic clocks are and why they matter
To find out how clock accuracy is verified and which reference is used for comparison, we visited the Belarusian State Institute of Metrology (BelGIM), where most of the national standards are kept.

US Air Force eyes atomic clocks to keep drone swarms flying in jammed skies
As if timekeeping in the U.S. wasn’t already pretty accurate, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) just declared a new atomic clock, the NIST-F2, to ...
EDN: New atomic clock remains accurate for longer than the current age of the Universe
New atomic clock remains accurate for longer than the current age of the Universe
Objects of atomic types are the only C++ objects that are free from data races; that is, if one thread writes to an atomic object while another thread reads from it, the behavior is well-defined. In addition, accesses to atomic objects may establish inter-thread synchronization and order non-atomic memory accesses as specified by std::memory_order.
I had a 25-hr debugging marathon in < 2 days and then wrote this answer here. See also the bottom of this question for more info. and documentation on 8-bit variables having naturally atomic writes and naturally atomic reads for AVR 8-bit microcontrollers when compiled with the gcc compiler which uses the AVR-libc library.

22 Atomic vs. Non-Atomic Operations "An operation acting on shared memory is atomic if it completes in a single step relative to other threads. When an atomic store is performed on a shared memory, no other thread can observe the modification half-complete.
There are several questions on SO dealing with atomic, and other that deal with std::condition_variable. But my question if my use below is correct? Three threads, one ctrl thread that does prepar...
There are two atomic CAS operations in C++11: atomic_compare_exchange_weak and atomic_compare_exchange_strong. According to cppreference: The weak forms of the functions are allowed to fail spurio...
So, this means that Richard Barry is saying that 4-byte reads and writes are atomic on these 32-bit microcontrollers. This means that he, at least, is 100% sure 4-byte reads and writes are atomic on STM32. He doesn't mention smaller-byte reads, but for 4-byte reads he is conclusively sure.
