Einstein was right: Time ticks faster on Mars, posing new challenges for future missions

Clocks on Mars tick faster by about 477 microseconds each Earth day, a new study suggests. This difference is significantly more than that for our moon, posing potential challenges for future crewed ...

Nuclear clocks could use electrical signals to keep time

The emission of photons by excited nuclei has been explored for timekeeping and sensing, but nuclear processes that eject electrons offer practical advantages. Electrons in atoms can exist only in ...
