For more than a century, dinosaur eggs have offered haunting snapshots of ancient life, from curled embryos to trampled nests ...

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

These radioactive elements decay at known rates, effectively acting as a built-in clock that reveals precisely when the eggs were buried millions of years ago. This natural timekeeping mechanism has ...

Time is a quantity and term that is very difficult to define. The dictionary says that time is “a period or interval.” Another puts forth the definition as “a measurable ...

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.

When it comes to watches that push boundaries, Seiko has a history of turning heads. Back in 1969, on Christmas Day no less, ...

Nuclear clocks are the next big thing in ultra-precise timekeeping. Recent publications in the journal Nature propose a new method and new technology to build the clocks. Timekeeping has become more ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A clutch of 28 dinosaur eggs found in the Qinglongshan fossil reserve in central China is about 86 million years old, according to scientists who used an “atomic clock” method to date the samples.
