In 2008, a team of UCLA-led scientists proposed a scheme to use a laser to excite the nucleus of thorium atoms to realize extremely accurate, portable clocks. Last year, they realized this ...

Whether he's pulling off a heist with old Hollywood charm or running from the law as a bumbling goon, George Clooney is the ...

Barring a last-minute breakthrough, 5,700 registered nurses at Sharp HealthCare will strike on Wednesday, remaining on picket lines through Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday, not returning to their ...

Apple has continued its trend of giving users more creative freedom over how their iPhones look and feel, and one of the most striking new customization options in iOS 26 is the ability to stretch the ...

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 ...

Apple added a ton of features and tweaks with iOS 26, including to the iPhone's Lock Screen. Here's how to customize your iPhone's clock, including its size. The clock might be one of the most-used ...

Each year, Daylight Saving Time (DST) starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. Daylight Saving Time is observed by majority of U.S. states, except for Hawaii and ...

Michigan will soon gain an hour this fall as we return to standard time in early November. On Nov. 2, Daylight Saving Time will end, and if you have any manual clocks at home, remember to set them ...

Optical atomic clocks just took a clean step forward. An MIT team reports a method that cuts quantum noise and lets a clock resolve twice as many ticks as before. The work centers on ytterbium atoms ...

For the first time, scientists have dated dinosaur eggs that lay buried in rock for millions of years, using a groundbreaking new ‘atomic clock for fossils’ method. During the Cretaceous period, Earth ...

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 ...
