Christopher Nolan's record-breaking 2026 epic 'The Odyssey' isn't just a Greek myth retelling — it's the third chapter in an ...

President Donald Trump's wish to make daylight saving time permanent year round has made headway with the House, which passed the "Sunshine Protection Act" on Tuesday. The bill would stop the ...

Perfect timekeeping is more complicated than you think. Most clocks slow down over time (not that many people notice), and tiny imperfections in the manufacturing process ensure that no two timepieces ...

For decades, scientists have tried to build a device even more precise than an atomic clock, which keeps time using electrons, the negatively charged particles that whiz around in an atom. Now, two ...

Two teams of physicists have made the world’s first nuclear clocks. These radical new devices keep time using fluctuations in the energy states of an atom’s nucleus, rather than those of its electrons ...

Atomic clocks have been around for nearly 80 years, but their successors—nuclear clocks—are ready to take the stage. Two independent studies, both uploaded as preprints, report reliable timekeeping ...

For decades, physicists have pursued a goal that sounds nearly impossible: to build a clock that keeps time using an atom's nucleus rather than the electrons orbiting it. "Having worked in this field ...

The best timekeepers today—atomic clocks—work off the quantum vibrations of an atom, specifically its electrons. But physicists have long dreamt of even better clocks that run on atomic nuclei, which ...

Scientists have built the first working nuclear clock, which uses the vibrations of atomic nuclei to keep time. Nuclear clocks have been sought after for more than two decades and could eventually ...

For the first time, scientists used an atomic nucleus as a clock. The world’s most precise timepieces are made using atoms, specifically their electrons. But clocks based on atomic nuclei — protons ...
