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

Nuclear clocks are a technology researchers have been working toward for decades. New research in theoretical physics brings them closer to reality.

NIST restored the precision of its atomic clocks after a power outage caused by a power outage disrupted operations. Discover ...

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.

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 ...

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.

In a first, researchers from the U.S. and Germany excite Thorium-229 in opaque material, advancing optical nuclear clocks.

A destructive windstorm disrupted the power supply to more than a dozen atomic clocks that keep official time in the United ...

Being on the surface of a sizable planet moving at high speed through space, spinning around a yellow star and on its axis, ...

A severe windstorm in Colorado triggered a power failure at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), ...
