A study led by the University of Oxford has identified a surprising source of entropy in quantum timekeeping—the act of ...

If you can read a traditional analog clock then congratulations, you’re smarter than artificial intelligence. AI is proving ...

Scientists learned that reading a quantum clock requires orders of magnitude more energy than running it. This surprising imbalance reveals that observation itself shapes the flow and thermodynamics ...

Wall clocks! Are they very accurate? Well, sometimes they are, and sometimes they lose minutes a day. If you’ve got one that needs calibrating, you might like this device from [Lauri Pirttiaho]. Most ...

In this case, the new clock uses an ion of aluminum linked to an ion of magnesium, forming what is known as a quantum logic clock. In this, the aluminum ion has a high-frequency, stable "tick." ...

There's a new record holder for the most accurate clock in the world. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have improved their atomic clock based on a trapped ...

Just about every electronic device has some silicon semiconductors inside these days—from transistors to diodes to integrated circuits. [Charles] is trying to build a “No-Silicon digital clock” that ...
