The Sixth Session of the Eighteenth Lok Sabha, which began on December 1, concluded on Friday, after 19 turbulent days marked ...

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 ...

This particular clock is technically an ion clock, which is different from the more common atomic clocks that are based on measuring the resonant frequencies of a single cesium atom to regulate time ...

He worked to develop an atomic clock that is essential to global positioning systems and helped confirm a rare state of matter predicted based on work by Albert Einstein. By Dylan Loeb McClain Daniel ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has dramatically enhanced the precision of time measurement with its latest atomic clock, a marvel that defines the very essence of a second.
