The way time is measured is on the edge of a historic upgrade. At the heart of this change is a new kind of atomic clock that uses light instead of microwaves. This shift means timekeeping could ...

This Portable Atomic Clock Maintained Accurate Time on a Rolling Ship at Sea In A Nutshell Australian physicists built a ...

Most clocks, from wristwatches to the systems that run GPS and the internet, work by tracking regular, repeating motions. To ...

Adelaide University researchers have successfully tested a new type of portable atomic clock at sea for the first time, using ...

Considering that 90% of American adults own mobile phones, the practice of interrupting strangers to inquire about the time has almost completely disappeared. Since these devices are so prolific in ...

Physicists at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics have developed a new atomic clock that is so accurate, it will not lose a second of time in more than 200 million years. That makes the ...

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 ...

Craig has worked in automotive media for nearly 20 years, producing content for publications ranging from Autoline and AutoGuide to Roadshow by CNET and EV Pulse. Aside from writing, he’s also ...

As if timekeeping in the U.S. wasn’t already pretty accurate, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) just declared a new atomic clock, the NIST-F2, to ...

Andrei Derevianko, an associate professor in the College of Science’s Department of Physics, is part of a group of physicists who were recently featured on Discovery Channel for their work in the ...
