Yet even today, very little is known about this matter’s fundamental properties. Although it operates in the background, dark ...

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

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

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

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 ...

July 9 was predicted to have a shorter "length of day" than usual due to an increase in Earth's rotation speed. See which ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
