Today is set to be one of shortest days in the Earth’s recorded history – meaning that it will be just under 24 hours.

“The optical clock community is strongly motivated to obtain the best possible set of measurements before the SI second is ...

By using a clever quantum approach that involves two "hands" on a clock one moving quickly and invisibly in the quantum world, the other more traditionally scientists have found a way to boost ...
