That big grandfather clock in the library might be an impressive piece of mechanical ingenuity, and an even better example of fine cabinetry, but we’d expect that the accuracy of a pendulum ...

A new laser clock from DLR has achieved a record level of accuracy for future space clocks. In 30 million years, it would only be one second off. The quantum properties of iodine molecules in a gas ...

he set his sights on making a completely isolated digital clock that doesn’t rely on external synchronization (well, except to initialize the time at first power-up). The accuracy goal he set ...

IN these days of accurate clocks and watches no one thinks of using a sun dial to tell the time of day. At best such an instrument can be right but four times a year, and in many places it can ...

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

A new app called Death Clock predicts the date of its users’ deaths and offers tips on how to push that date back. TechCrunch ...

The AI was trained on a dataset of more than 1200 life expectancy studies with some 53 million participants. Its answers may ...

An optical lattice clock is a type of atomic clock that can be 100 times more accurate than cesium atomic clocks, the current ...

Time is vital to the functioning of our everyday lives: from the watches on our wrists to the GPS systems in our phones.
