Nuclear clocks are a technology researchers have been working toward for decades. New research in theoretical physics brings them closer to reality.

(TNS) — In 2003, engineers from Germany and Switzerland began building a bridge across the Rhine River simultaneously from both sides. Months into construction, they found that the two sides did not ...

Over the years, many new amenities have been installed in space, one of them being atomic clocks. These clocks aid the human population in a myriad of ways, like in GPS navigation, internet timing, ...

Clocks on Earth are ticking a bit more regularly thanks to NIST-F4, a new atomic clock at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) campus in Boulder, Colorado. NIST-F4 measures an ...

Scientists are building a nuclear clock so precise it could detect dark matter and test the laws of physics. The secret? A rare, low-energy transition in thorium-229. Here, we explain the science of ...

Time on Mars does not match time on Earth, and the difference is no longer a thought experiment. Precision calculations now show that clocks on the red planet tick measurably faster, confirming a ...
