SNL alum Terry Sweeney breaks silence on Chevy Chase CNN doc controversy: "He's so rotten" The famous underwater stalking scene (full scene) Creature from the Black Lagoon A Massive New Study of ...

How some of the world’s most precise clocks missed a very small beat. By Mike Ives and Adeel Hassan Time appeared to skip a beat last week when some of the world’s most accurate clocks were affected ...

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Power shut off across Colorado last week as hurricane-force winds swept across the state. In Boulder, one of those outages caused time to briefly stand still ...

In advance of hurricane force winds moving into Colorado earlier this week, Xcel Energy preemptively shut off power to protect areas of the state from extreme fire danger. But due to the outage, time ...

For decades, atomic clocks have provided the most stable means of timekeeping. They measure time by oscillating in step with the resonant frequency of atoms, a method so accurate that it serves as the ...

Researchers are looking for new ways to improve timekeeping because even small gains in stability can help physicists discover subtle physical effects. The thorium-229 nuclear clock is a newer venture ...

Atomic clocks will only see a loss of 1 second in accuracy over a period of 10 million years. They are used in multiple ways, including the GPS in your car. Now researchers have found a way to bypass ...

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 ...

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — When Daylight Saving Time ends on Nov. 2, we have to set our clocks back one hour. This happens every fall, giving us an extra hour of sleep, but costing us an hour of daylight ...

Time doesn't come from your phone. It doesn't come from your watch either. It comes from atoms oscillating in a vacuum — billions of times a second — inside a system that never stops checking itself.

A clutch of 28 dinosaur eggs found in the Qinglongshan fossil reserve in central China is about 86 million years old, according to scientists who used an “atomic clock” method to date the samples.
