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

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.

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a MEMS-based reflection-type vapor cell combined with metasurfaces, which function as essential optical components for a microfabricated atomic clock.

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 ...

Denny Chimes is now synced to atomic clock precision, making the clock tower more accurate than ever. Thejesh Bandi, an associate professor in the department of physics and principal investigator of ...

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 ...
