Time appeared to skip a beat last week when some of the world’s most accurate clocks were affected by a wind-induced power ...

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

You'd think that synchronizing the clocks across a fleet of modern servers is a solved problem, but it's actually quite a hard challenge to solve, especially if you want to get to nanosecond accuracy.

For decades, atomic clocks have provided the most stable means of timekeeping. They measure time by oscillating in step with ...

NIST restored the precision of its atomic clocks after a power outage caused by a power outage disrupted operations. Discover ...
