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

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

For decades, the world has kept time with the ticks of atomic clocks. But they could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to the introduction of a nuclear clock that could revolutionise how we ...

Atomic scientists moved their "Doomsday Clock" closer to midnight than ever before, citing Russian nuclear threats amid its invasion of Ukraine and other factors underlying the risks of global ...

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

Scientists and global leaders revealed on Tuesday that the "Doomsday Clock" has been reset to the closest humanity has ever come to self-annihilation.

The world spins faster for 3 days straight in July and August, prompting experts to monitor Earth's changing rotation.

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

Atomic clocks are the most accurate timekeepers we have, losing only seconds across billions of years. But apparently that’s not accurate enough – nuclear clocks could steal their thunder ...

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.

According to scientists at NIST in Boulder, their newest atomic clock, the NIST-F4, will help track time more precisely and help put global time on a more accurate frequency.
