For decades, scientists have tried to build a device even more precise than an atomic clock, which keeps time using electrons, the negatively charged particles that whiz around in an atom. Now, two ...

Two teams of physicists have made the world's first nuclear clocks. These radical new devices keep time using fluctuations in the energy states of an atom's nucleus, rather than those of its electrons ...

Jun. 19—Consider this enough advance time for area high schools getting ready to have shot clocks installed in their gymnasiums. The IHSA, after its regularly scheduled Board of Directors meeting on ...

A shot clock will be implemented to use in all high school varsity boys' and girls' basketball games in Illinois starting with the 2026-27 season. Sports Editor A shot clock will be implemented to use ...

One reality of modern life is that people walking down a sidewalk tend to have their attention focused downward at their phones. Our lives exist inside those phones. But should they? Public clocks are ...

The world's first nuclear clocks have ticked. A team of physicists has demonstrated a working timekeeping device regulated not by orbiting electrons — as in conventional atomic clocks — but by ...

Scientists have built the first working nuclear clock, which uses the vibrations of atomic nuclei to keep time. Nuclear clocks have been sought after for more than two decades and could eventually ...
