The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Internet Time Service Facility in Boulder lost power Wednesday afternoon ...
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 ...
Nuclear clocks are a technology researchers have been working toward for decades. New research in theoretical physics brings them closer to reality.
The affected atomic clocks, mainly hydrogen masers and cesium beams, are essential for determining UTC(NIST), with 10 to 15 of them typically in active use at the Boulder laboratory.

A chip that keeps time (almost) like an atomic clock
For decades, atomic clocks have provided the most stable means of timekeeping. They measure time by oscillating in step with ...

Researchers develop a method to count thorium-229 nuclear ticks, paving the way for high-precision nuclear clocks and sensors ...
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 ...
Time moves differently on Mars. NIST physicts recently calculated exactly how fast each second passes on Mars. And if humans want to explore the solar system, every microsecond counts.
