The IEEE Sensors Council Technical Achievement Award was presented to NIST physicist John Kitching for his pioneering work on chip-scale atomic sensors and devices. This award recognizes Dr. Kitching’s exceptional technical contributions to the field of atomic clocks and sensors. The world’s smallest atomic clock, developed by Dr. Kitching, is about the size of a grain of rice and demonstrates the cutting-edge research being conducted at NIST. The development of chip-scale atomic sensors and devices has the potential to revolutionize various fields, including physics, engineering, and technology.
