Colorado is famous for its many 14er peaks. But have you ever thought about how time runs differently on a mountain top? ⏰

As part of our #ColoradoDay celebrations, we're spotlighting the #quantum research being conducted the summit of Mount Blue Sky. CU Boulder and nist researchers traveled there to put a technology known as an optical atomic clock to the test in a way that’s never been done before.

One day, these tools could help people navigate without GPS or even predict when a volcano is about to erupt. Tap the link in our bio for more. 🔗
