Source sentences:
text: Like a regular clock, an atomic clock keeps time according to oscillation, which is a periodic variation or movement between two entities or between two states of a single entity, created by changes in energy.
text: Atomic clocks keep time better than any other clock.
text: They even keep time better than the rotation of the Earth and the movement of the stars.
text: Much like a pendulum clock, an atomic clock keeps time by oscillations.
text: Atomic clocks keep time based on the natural oscillations (or frequencies) of atoms, which are much more stable and accurate than any mechanical devices.
text: Your wristwatch and atomic clocks keep time in similar ways: by measuring the vibrations of a quartz crystal.
text: Atomic clocks keep time by keeping tabs on the quantum information contained in atoms inside the clock.
text: Atomic clocks keep time based on the natural oscillations (or frequencies) of atoms, which are much more stable and accurate than any mechanical devices.
text: Atomic clocks keep time by measuring the oscillations of atoms as they change energy states.
text: Atomic clocks keep time so accurate that they’re expected to lose one second over the next million years or more.
