On June 16, 1657, Christiaan Huygens – a Dutch astronomer, inventor, physicist and mathematician – patented a pendulum clock for the first time. A.S.Ganesh takes a look at how Huygens turned ...

The pendulum of a pendulum clock generates a little heat and disorder among the air molecules around it, and every laser beam that reads the state of an atomic clock generates heat, radiation and ...

"Every clock needs two components: first, a time base generator, such as a pendulum in a pendulum clock, or even a quantum oscillation.

Witness the intricate build of a fully working LEGO pendulum clock designed for precision and durability. This project features an enhanced escapement mechanism paired with a smooth gear train ...

The clock looks like plastic, which may not be what some buyers are looking for. Some buyers have reported issues with the pendulum not staying in place.

Going cuckoo over clocks? This retired teacher has painstakingly collected and maintained about 200 clocks from dealers, auction houses and online sellers.

The European Space Agency’s ACES mission could ultimately pave the way for a global network of atomic clocks that make these measurements far more accurate.

As mechanical clocks became more precise, particularly with the development of the pendulum clock in the mid-17th century, timekeepers further divided the hour into minutes and seconds.

Blacksmith artist Max Randolph designs and builds a functional 6 foot clock tower built with hand-cut gear works, with blue stained glass embellishments on the pendulum. This piece is now a public ...

Logical reasoning suggests that late afternoon light helps keep us emotionally healthy; however, I also wonder why flying across a single time zone has no next-day effect on the body clock.

A recent breakthrough has paved the way for timekeeping even more precise than the measurements performed by atomic clocks.
