Scientists claim to have created the world’s most accurate time keeper, a new atomic clock, which can give precise timing for billions of years. Reuters A group of physicists at the National Institute ...

Atomic clocks are the most precise timekeepers we have today, with the best ones keeping time to within one second in 15 billion years. But there’s always room for improvement, as researchers at MIT ...

Atomic clocks are set to become even more precise than they currently are. A new technique can ensure that the "ticking" of individual atoms — which is the basis of atomic clocks — is extremely ...

Physicists say they have fine-tuned an atomic clock to the point where it won't lose or gain a second in 15 billion years Physicists say they have fine-tuned an atomic clock to the point where it ...

Poland has just started up one of the few optical atomic clocks in the world that puts old cesium fountain atomic clocks to shame. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new ...

These clocks are so accurate they'd lose just half a second if they lasted the age of the universe. That's 14 billion years. The most accurate clocks in the world are atomic clocks, which use lasers ...

The experts who maintain the ominous Doomsday Clock said Tuesday that humanity is still as close as ever to global catastrophe, which could involve nuclear war, climate change, or maybe even ...

At 10 a.m. ET today, scientists will announce whether the events of the past year have brought humanity closer to, or further away from, self-annihilation. For the last three years, the Doomsday Clock ...

The international definition of a second of time could be heading for a change, thanks to researchers who have demonstrated that an advanced type of ‘atomic clock’ has the degree of precision and ...
