  • Cesium: The Ultra-Precise Metal Behind Atomic Clocks
    The metal you're describing is cesium.

    Cesium is known for its sky blue spectral lines and is used in atomic clocks due to its highly precise and stable oscillations.

    Atomic clocks using cesium are accurate to 1 second in 300 million years, not 5 seconds in 300 years or 1 in 60 years.

    This incredible accuracy makes them the most accurate timekeeping devices ever created.
