NIST restored the precision of its atomic clocks after a power outage caused by a power outage disrupted operations. Discover ...

We’re once again approaching the annual resetting of the Doomsday Clock. Last January, the Science and Security Board of the ...

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

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 ...

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

Researchers are looking for new ways to improve timekeeping because even small gains in stability can help physicists discover subtle physical effects. The thorium-229 nuclear clock is a newer venture ...

Scientists in Toronto have unveiled a chilling breakthrough, a laser-regulated atomic clock cooled to just five degrees above absolute zero, promising a leap in timekeeping accuracy unlike anything ...

Atomic clocks will only see a loss of 1 second in accuracy over a period of 10 million years. They are used in multiple ways, including the GPS in your car. Now researchers have found a way to bypass ...

Why have just one technological breakthrough when you can have two at the same time? The Royal Navy has installed for the first time a quantum clock into its XV Excalibur robotic submarine for ...

When daylight saving time ends on Sunday, and mornings are gradually growing darker. Whether you’re after a gentle sunrise glow or a good old-fashioned buzzer that could wake the neighbors, we’ve ...

Michigan will soon gain an hour this fall as we return to standard time in early November. On Nov. 2, Daylight Saving Time will end, and if you have any manual clocks at home, remember to set them ...
