The advantage of a radio-controlled clock that receives the time signal from WWVB is that you never have to set it again.

Atomic clocks record time using microwaves to measure the frequency of quantum vibrations of electrons. They are the basis ...

This technology, called the 'microcomb chip,' could make optical atomic clocks, the most precise timekeepers in the world, compact enough for everyday use. Credit: Kaiyi Wu This breakthrough could ...

Atomic clocks record time using microwaves at a frequency matched to electron transitions in certain atoms. They are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there is a new kid on the block ...

Because every device that uses quantum mechanics involves trillions of particles, their combined effect allows us to ensure a ...

A Senate committee hearing has been set to discuss daylight saving time. Could it be a sign that Congress is setting its sights on the twice-a-year practice?

Vladimir Putin's propagandists have threatened the UK with a devastating nuclear attack and shared an image of London under ...

For decades, atomic clocks have set the standard for precision timekeeping ... “The custom-built pieces from the instrument shop save us so much time.” While the primary goal of this research is to ...

Here’s how to check if your smartphone does that: Android: Go into the clock app, tap more and then go into settings. Then go into change date and time, select set time zone automatically and ...
