Breakthrough ion clock experiments reveal that time can go quantum

Time already behaves strangely in modern physics. It can stretch, slow, and split depending on speed and gravity.

Atomic Clocks Could Reveal The Hidden Quantum Nature of Time Itself

We think of it as rigid, smooth, and unidirectional – the arrow of time flies straight and true, and all we can do is go ...

Bringing quantum time into the lab—a single clock can run young and old at once

Few concepts in physics are as familiar, yet as enigmatic, as time. In Einstein's theory of relativity, time is not absolute: ...

The world's first nuclear clock can detect changes in nature’s fundamental constants

Scientists have taken another giant step towards building the most precise clock ever imagined—one that could display not only the passage of time, but shifting rules of nature itself. An ...

Using atomic nuclei could allow scientists to read time more precisely than ever

Most clocks, from wristwatches to the systems that run GPS and the internet, work by tracking regular, repeating motions.

A Chip that Keeps Time (Almost) Like an Atomic Clock

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 ...
