Imagine being able to measure tiny changes in the flow of time caused by Earth’s gravity with atomic clocks atop one of Colorado’s iconic peaks above 14,000 feet. That could soon be a reality thanks to a $1.9 million grant from the NSF that will advance geodesy through the use of quantum sensors, some of the most precise in the world.
