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. Now a new theoretical study pushes that weirdness into even stranger territory. It ...

A French geologist spent 205 days underground with no clock or daylight, and his body eventually treated almost 48 hours as a single day

Michel Siffre’s first descent was meant to be a geological expedition. Instead, it became an experiment in what happens when ...

The world's first nuclear clock just ticked on — and it could help detect a fifth fundamental force of physics

For decades, physicists have pursued a goal that sounds nearly impossible: to build a clock that keeps time using an atom's nucleus rather than the electrons orbiting it. "Having worked in this field ...

Reading a quantum clock costs more energy than running it, study finds

A study led by the University of Oxford has identified a surprising source of entropy in quantum timekeeping—the act of measurement itself. In a study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists ...
