Two independent research teams have achieved a longstanding goal in physics: building a working nuclear clock. The devices, developed by Beichen Huang and colleagues at Tsinghua University and by Luca ...

For the first time, scientists used an atomic nucleus as a clock. The world’s most precise timepieces are made using atoms, specifically their electrons. But clocks based on atomic nuclei — protons ...

A new denial-of-service (DoS) attack dubbed HTTP/2 Bomb can be launched from a single machine to take down web servers within seconds. The technique works on default HTTP/2 configurations of major web ...

Editor’s note: This story has been adjusted to clarify the nature of the Massachusetts bill to seek permanent standard time. A long-standing legislative push by 19 states to permanently eliminate the ...

A powerful molecular clock calibrated using data on gene activity from thousands of individuals can predict biological ageing in rodents, monkeys and humans — and time to death in people 1. “Even if ...

A bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent is moving forward, potentially ending the twice annual changing of clocks. Fox News reports a bid to make daylight saving permanent was folded into a ...

Have we seen the last of the clocks falling back every November? Under a House of Representative proposal that advanced on May 21, daylight saving time would stay in effect all year round. Polls have ...

Time might be even stranger than Einstein imagined. Physicists are now exploring the possibility that a single clock could exist in a quantum superposition, ticking both faster and slower at the same ...

Few concepts in physics are as familiar, yet as enigmatic, as time. In Einstein's theory of relativity, time is not absolute: its passage depends on motion and gravity. But when combined with quantum ...

The sun rises on the North Slope in early 2019. Large majorities of Alaskans tell pollsters they’re sick of changing their clocks twice a year. And for years, lawmakers have introduced bills that ...

Georgians recently had their clocks spring forward for Daylight Saving Time. This is something several leaders have wanted to stop, and now there may be a way to make that happen. House Bill 154, also ...
