Nuclear 'Doomsday Clock' ticks closest to midnight in 64 years Atomic scientists reset their symbolic "Doomsday Clock" to its closest time to midnight in 64 years on Thursday, saying the world was closer to catastrophe due to threats such as nuclear weapons, climate change and Donald Trump's election as U.S. pre Read more ... sident.

The Doomsday Clock just advanced, ‘thanks to Trump’: It’s now just 2 ½ minutes to ‘midnight.’ The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists singled out President Trump in noting that the symbolic clock moved 30 seconds closer to the end of humanity.

What is a “Doomsday Clock” and should we be scared? Today, the Bulletin of The Atomic Scientists announced that the Doomsday Clock is still set at "three minutes" to "midnight," and no this isn't the set up for a new superhero movie.

How Will a New Clock Keep Good Time Even in Deep Space? Navigating in deep space is tricky, particularly when you need to keep up interplanetary synchronized clocks. NASA is convinced we can do better with a new atomic clock they’re testing in orbit this year. Here’s how it works, as illustrated by an Read more ... adorably consternated second hand.

Hyper-precise atomic clock detects tiny changes in the fabric of time The ability of a hyper-sensitive clock to determine small differences in altitude is based on Einstein's prediction that the farther one gets from the center of an attractor (like Earth), the faster time moves.

About time: New record for atomic clock accuracy Physicists said Tuesday they have fine-tuned an atomic clock to the point where it won't lose or gain a second in 15 billion years -- longer than the universe has existed. The "optical lattice" clock, which uses strontium atoms, is now three times mo Read more ... re accurate than a year ago when it set the previous world record, its developers reported in the journal Nature Communications. The advance brings science a step closer to replacing the current gold standard in timekeeping: the caesium fountain clock that is used to set Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the official world time. "Precise and accurate optical atomic clocks have the potential to transform global timekeeping," the study authors wrote.

Atomic Clock Is So Precise It Won't Lose a Second for 15 Billion Years The most precise clock ever made could hold time accurately for the entire age of the universe.
