Every time you check the time on your phone, make an online transaction, or use a navigation app, you are depending on the precision of atomic clocks. Scientists are developing next-generation atomic ...

Researchers at MIT say they have discovered a way to double the precision of optical atomic clocks by quieting the quantum noise that clouds their ticking.… Atomic clocks keep time by monitoring the ...

On Sunday, Nov. 2, we head back into Standard Time and say goodbye to Daylight Saving Time until March 8, 2026.

Optical lattice clocks are emerging timekeeping devices based on tens of thousands of ultracold atoms trapped in an optical lattice (i.e., a grid of laser light). By oscillating between two distinct ...

IonQ, a quantum computing technology company, has finalized the acquisition of quantum sensing firm Vector Atomic. IonQ said Tuesday the all-stock transaction enhances its position as a full-spectrum ...

On Sunday, Daylight Saving Time ended at 2 a.m. That’s the time when we “fall back’' by setting our clocks back one hour, and ...

Energy Secretary says administration will tests nuclear weapons ‘systems’ without detonating devices — for now ...

Nobel laureate Arthur Schawlow’s advice to “never measure anything but frequency” is a central principle of modern precision metrology and timekeeping. Today’s spectroscopy is advanced enough to teach ...

As told by the politicians, generals and bureaucrats leading the U.S.’s nuclear war efforts, A House of Dynamite terrifyingly ...

Throughout history, humans have always searched for ways to predict the future. AI is just the latest tool to try to predict how humans will behave. While some believe that predictive tools can be ...
