The most precise clocks in the world will lose only one second every 300 billion years—and someday they might fit in your ...

Every satellite in a GPS constellation carries a super-precise atomic clock. These clocks measure seconds not according to the arc of the Sun across the sky, as our ancestors did, but according to the ...

Turns out, it’s right here in Minnesota! These nine vintage stores are treasure troves of nostalgia, quirk, and one-of-a-kind ...

Premium Ekkehard Peik, one of the field’s pioneers, says such a clock could be a factor of 1,000 times better than today’s standard atomic clocks. Image: Pixabay FOR THE discerning timekeeper ...

This physicist and self-described “plasma guy” (and former head of Argonne National Laboratory) delves into whether can ...

Twenty minutes after our bus departed from downtown Omaha, my fellow passengers and I arrived at Offutt Air Force Base, home to the United States Strategic Command. Stratcom, as it’s known, is ...

By studying decay of bound-state beta decay of thallium-205 (205Tl81+), scientists can better understand the timing and ...

For instance, a traditional quartz clock loses a millisecond every six weeks. Advancements have led to the development of highly precise instruments like the atomic clock, which is estimated to lose ...

Physicists have made a breakthrough in the development of a nuclear clock, a new kind of ultraprecise clock that could ...

A team of scientists set out to probe some of the heaviest elements in the periodic table using an advanced form of laser ...

Where does the periodic table of chemical elements end and which processes lead to the existence of heavy elements? Researchers report on experiments to come closer to an answer. They gained insight ...
