Nuclear clocks are the next big thing in ultra-precise timekeeping. Recent publications in the journal Nature propose a new method and new technology to build the clocks. Timekeeping has become more ...

Researchers are looking for new ways to improve timekeeping because even small gains in stability can help physicists discover subtle physical effects. The thorium-229 nuclear clock is a newer venture ...

Atomic clocks will only see a loss of 1 second in accuracy over a period of 10 million years. They are used in multiple ways, including the GPS in your car. Now researchers have found a way to bypass ...

Michigan will soon gain an hour this fall as we return to standard time in early November. On Nov. 2, Daylight Saving Time will end, and if you have any manual clocks at home, remember to set them ...

EXCLUSIVE: In a competitive situation, James Wan’s Atomic Monster has acquired the rights to Julie Soto’s bestselling YA psychological thriller The Thrashers for television. Search is underway for a ...

Optical lattice clocks are emerging timekeeping devices based on tens of thousands of ultracold atoms trapped in an optical lattice (i.e., a grid of laser light). By oscillating between two distinct ...

IonQ said Wednesday the planned acquisition is intended to expand its quantum technology portfolio. By integrating Vector Atomic’s advanced PNT systems, including rackmount optical atomic clocks, ...

Time doesn't come from your phone. It doesn't come from your watch either. It comes from atoms oscillating in a vacuum — billions of times a second — inside a system that never stops checking itself.

A clutch of 28 dinosaur eggs found in the Qinglongshan fossil reserve in central China is about 86 million years old, according to scientists who used an “atomic clock” method to date the samples.

Midland’s craft beer scene is set to grow in 2026 with the arrival of Clock and Candle Brewatorium, a new brewery project rooted in community, creativity, and a touch of theater. The idea began ...
