He worked to develop an atomic clock that is essential to GPS and helped confirm a rare state of matter predicted by Albert ...

As Earth spins faster than it has in decades, atomic clocks are catching the difference, and shorter days are on the horizon.

Atomic clocks and our computer networks are the new, far superior form of time measurement, but we’re forcing them to keep in sync with this older form of measurement,” remarks Dr. David Gozzard, an ...

On July 9, 2025, scientists at the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) reported that the Earth ...

The science behind why the Earth will spin just a little bit faster on July 9, July 22, and August 5, this year.

Last month, a consortium of 69 scientists from across Europe and Japan completed the largest and most coordinated comparison ...

In the final analysis, by showing that 10 heterogenous clocks across three continents could agree with each other to within a ...

July 9 is expected to be one of the shortest days in history, but you won’t notice a difference. The Earth has been moving ...

Scientists anticipate that Earth's rotation will quicken enough to create three shorter days between July and August, starting Wednesday, July 9.

Due to the way Earth's rotation is measured, Wednesday, July 9 will technically lose time. Here's why you most likely won't ...

Many modern atomic clocks use oscillations of strontium atoms rather than cesium to measure time; the most precise of these is accurate to within 1/15,000,000,000 of a second. This means that ...

The next generation of atomic clocks "ticks" with the frequency of a laser. This is about 100,000 times faster than the microwave frequencies of the cesium clocks which are generating the second ...
