The clock is so reliable that it would be off by less than a second if it had started running 100 million years ago, researchers say. A new atomic clock is one of the world’s best timekeepers, ...

Every single day, humans rely on hundreds of hidden clocks. GPS location, Internet stability, stock trading, power grid management ... all rely on atomic clocks in order to work. Many of those clocks ...

BRAUNSCHWEIG, Germany — Time measurement is entering a new era. The next generation of atomic clocks uses laser light instead of microwaves to track time, oscillating about 100,000 times faster than ...

Atomic clocks that excite the nucleus of thorium-229 embedded in a transparent crystal when hit by a laser beam could yield the most accurate measurements ever of time and gravity, and even rewrite ...

The way time is measured is on the edge of a historic upgrade. At the heart of this change is a new kind of atomic clock that uses light instead of microwaves. This shift means timekeeping could ...

DENVER (KDVR) — It is said that time is relative and passes differently depending on an observer’s relative motion and gravitational potential. Although some would argue time is a construct, it does ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The ongoing race to create the next generation of hyperaccurate ...

An Arizona-based company has launched its next generation of low-noise Chip-Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC). Microchip's model SA65-LN is designed to operate in a wider temperature range, enabling low-phase ...

A team of international researchers has developed an innovative approach to uncover the secrets of dark matter. In a collaboration between the University of Queensland, Australia, and Germany's ...

“Humanity Edging Closer To Catastrophe”: Iconic Doomsday Clock moves one second closer to midnight as global existential threats rage. Clock factors include nuclear weapons, climate crisis, artificial ...

The Doomsday clock was set at 89 seconds to midnight on Tuesday morning, putting it the closest the world has ever been to what scientists deem "global catastrophe." The decades-old international ...

A new atomic clock is one of the world’s best timekeepers, researchers say — and after years of development, the “fountain”-style clock is now in use helping keep official U.S. time. Known as NIST-F4, ...
