CHANDLER, Ariz., April 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A hydrogen maser is an atomic clock that uses properties of hydrogen atoms to emit precise microwave frequencies for highly stable and precise timekeeping. Hydrogen masers are deployed globally and actively contribute to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the global standard for the time of day, synchronizing critical applications such as power grids, cell phone networks and satellite communications. The demand for hydrogen masers is on the rise as nations rely on independent timescale systems to protect their infrastructure from disruptions and outages. To meet the growing demand for hydrogen masers, Microchip... More
