Time appeared to skip a beat last week when some of the world’s most accurate clocks were affected by a wind-induced power ...

A destructive windstorm disrupted the power supply to more than a dozen atomic clocks that keep official time in the United ...

Officials said the error is likely too minute for the general public to clock it, but it could affect applications such as critical infrastructure, telecommunications and GPS signals.

Due to the power outage, time (very) briefly stood still at the NIST Internet Time Service facility in Boulder.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology recently warned that an atomic clock device installed at its Boulder campus had failed due to a prolonged power ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Internet Time Service Facility in Boulder lost power Wednesday afternoon ...

A collaboration between researchers in the US and Germany has made a major breakthrough in optical nuclear clocks, achieving ...

Nuclear clocks are a technology researchers have been working toward for decades. New research in theoretical physics brings them closer to reality.

For decades, atomic clocks have provided the most stable means of timekeeping. They measure time by oscillating in step with ...

Scientists have taken another giant step towards building the most precise clock ever imagined—one that could display not only the passage of time, but shifting rules of nature itself. An ...

A revolutionary achievement could pave the way for smaller, more efficient nuclear clocks. Last year, a research team led by UCLA achieved a milestone scientists had pursued for half a century. They s ...

Researchers develop a method to count thorium-229 nuclear ticks, paving the way for high-precision nuclear clocks and sensors ...
