Nuclear clocks are a technology researchers have been working toward for decades. New research in theoretical physics brings them closer to reality.

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 ...

At this point, atomic clocks are old news. They’ve been quietly keeping our world on schedule for decades now, and have been through several iterations with each generation gaining more accuracy. They ...

A research team at VTT MIKES has set a new record in optical-clock absolute frequency measurements using a strontium single-ion clock with exceptionally low uncertainty and high uptime.

Did you know that moving a clock one inch toward the ground would result in a slower tick compared to the same clock positioned higher up? Gravity doesn't just pull things; it also bends time.

Time on Mars does not match time on Earth, and the difference is no longer a thought experiment. Precision calculations now show that clocks on the red planet tick measurably faster, confirming a ...
