Medicine & TechnologyResearchers have accomplished the high-precision measurement of a thorium isotope's nuclear transition - opening the possibilities for more accurate nuclear clocks.
The Metronome—a 62-foot-wide electronic clock with a 15-digit display facing Manhattan's Union square—has changed its display to the remaining time before the "climate change deadline."
TiME is being tested on a Chilean lake to float on methane-ethane filled lakes and seas on Titan. NASA’s initiative is a step towards landing on Titan’s methane seas and finding life.
Scientists have set a new record in accurate timekeeping, by creating a new atomic clock that won't lose or gain a second in 15 billion years. This timespan is greater than the estimated age of the Universe itself.

Computers operate based on predefined rules and logic, but the universe often has a logic all to its own. This year, there will be one added second of time, and this extra second is proving to be a problem for software developers around the world.
