The way time is measured is on the edge of a historic upgrade. At the heart of this change is a new kind of atomic clock that ...

Clocks on Earth are ticking a bit more regularly thanks to NIST-F4, a new atomic clock at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) campus in Boulder, Colorado. NIST-F4 measures an ...

At the heart of this change is a new kind of atomic clock that uses light instead of microwaves. This shift means timekeeping could become 1,000 times more accurate than today's standards.

Whether you find yourself glancing at a clock on the wall or checking your phone, the time you constantly see is the product of a meticulous system upheld by the world’s timekeepers. In the U.S., a ...

DENVER (KDVR) — It is said that time is relative and passes differently depending on an observer’s relative motion and gravitational potential. Although some would argue time is a construct ...
