A new study published in Nature Physicsreveals a significant breakthrough in quantum timekeeping, challenging a long-held ...

Timekeeping just got a quantum upgrade. A new quantum clock uses wave-like motion to tell precise time with minimal energy loss.

Iran says it has built and will activate a third nuclear enrichment facility, ratcheting up tensions with the U.N.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency says that information Iran claims to have obtained regarding Israel’s ...

Clocks on Earth are ticking a bit more regularly thanks to NIST-F4, a new atomic clock at the US National Institute ... billions of times each day for everything from setting clocks and watches to ...

NIST said that if the F4 atomic clock had started ticking 100 ... billions of times each day for everything from setting clocks and watches to ensuring the accurate time stamping of hundreds ...

Analysis: Measuring time to the 19th decimal place, as nuclear clocks could do, would allow scientists to study very fast processes Time is vital to the functioning of our everyday lives, from the ...

In a push to standardise timekeeping practices nationwide, the Union government is deploying atomic clocks to ensure the time shown on your digital watch, smartphone and laptop is based on Indian ...

The atomic clock, which for ever ripped time from its ... Despite their picosecond precision, very few of the scientists at Nist wear watches. When asked why, Sherman recalled the words of an ...

These ticks aren’t perfectly even. Off-the-shelf quartz watches are accurate to within less than a second a day. A good cesium atomic clock may shift by a second over 100 million years.

Regardless of what your watch tells you ... to “duck and cover” under their school desks in case of atomic attack, were the clock’s hands this far into the final countdown.
