Possibly originating with the English poet Geoffrey Chaucer's "time and tide wait for no man," the idea that time waits for ...

Atomic clocks are already the world's most precise time keepers, but physicists are tinkering with a new design that could make them "50 times more precise than today's best designs," according to ...

As the precision and portability of atomic clocks continue to improve, University of Delaware physicist Marianna Safronova and collaborators Yu-Dai Tsai of the University of California, Irvine, and ...

In other words: if dark matter’s out there, the Oxford team’s recent breakthrough might be our best lead yet. And, best of all, there’s not much downside to pursuing this research.

A new experiment involving a network of entangled atomic clocks could finally help us test how quantum mechanics fits with ...

Which atomic clocks are best? The first time zone, Greenwich Mean Time, was established in the late 1600s to assist sailors before the invention of the train and railway in the mid-1800s expanded ...

Atomic clocks work by using a laser to bounce the electrons in an atom at a given frequency, while nuclear clocks would theoretically do the same for atomic nuclei, and we are a step closer to ...

Not all atomic clocks can be used anywhere in the world as some only have compatibility with certain time zones. Using one of these outside a supported time zone could mean an inaccurate time ...
