As anticipation builds for the longer days that follow this weekend’s switch to daylight savings time, the moment seemed ideal to turn to one of the nation’s leading circadian-rhythms researchers, UC ...

Atomic clocks use quantum physics and the resonant frequency of atoms, like cesium, to define time. Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by ...

As sunlight filters through your window each morning, a quiet, powerful rhythm pulses inside your body. This inner clock tells you when to sleep, eat, and wake. It keeps pace with the 24-hour cycle of ...

The most precise clocks ever built are now testing Einstein, hunting dark matter, and reshaping how we define time itself. In A Nutshell The world’s most precise clocks are changing how we understand ...

Nuclear clocks are the next big thing in ultra-precise timekeeping. Recent publications in the journal Nature propose a new method and new technology to build the clocks. Timekeeping has become more ...

Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by using the quantum behavior of atoms to measure time. Discover how these incredibly precise clocks work, ...
