He worked to develop an atomic clock that is essential to global positioning systems and helped confirm a rare state of ...

Earth’s rotation is speeding up. This summer, our planet will spin faster than usual, creating the shortest day since records ...

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 ...

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

So far, the shortest day ever recorded was July 5, 2024, when Earth rotated 1.66 milliseconds faster than usual. This year, ...

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

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

Global positioning systems that support mapping programs are a prime example of how basic science can lead to unforeseen but ...
