Due to the power outage, time (very) briefly stood still at the NIST Internet Time Service facility in Boulder.

A rare case of deliberately trying to induce an outage A staffer at the USA’s National Institute of Standards and Technology ...

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 ...

Nuclear clocks are a technology researchers have been working toward for decades. New research in theoretical physics brings them closer to reality.

At this point, atomic clocks are old news. They’ve been quietly keeping our world on schedule for decades now, and have been through several iterations with each generation gaining more accuracy. They ...

Atomic clocks and frequency standards represent the pinnacle of precision timekeeping technology. By harnessing the natural oscillatory behaviour of atoms, these devices deliver unparalleled accuracy ...

(TNS) — In 2003, engineers from Germany and Switzerland began building a bridge across the Rhine River simultaneously from both sides. Months into construction, they found that the two sides did not ...

A research team from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) has succeeded in exciting the atomic ...
