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 ...

For decades, atomic clocks have provided the most stable means of timekeeping. They measure time by oscillating in step with ...

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.

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 ...

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