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 ...

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.

A new tool allows us to visualize how disinformation campaigns originating in places like the halls of the Russian Ministry ...

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.

In the 80th year of the nuclear age, with just 89 seconds left on the Doomsday Clock, every nuclear challenge is trending in ...

Thanks to a speed-up of Earth's rotation, the length of the astronomical day and the length of the clock day aren't quite matching up. Eventually, international timekeepers may need to subtract a ...

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 ...
