“Quantum clocks running at the smallest scales were expected to lower the energy cost of timekeeping, but our new experiment ...

Scientists learned that reading a quantum clock requires orders of magnitude more energy than running it. This surprising imbalance reveals that observation itself shapes the flow and thermodynamics ...

Today’s state-of-the-art optical clocks offer accuracy to 18 decimal places, which is roughly equivalent to measuring the ...

Measuring time might not seem like that complex of a thing. After all, we rely on simply counting seconds between the "then" and the "now." But when you really start to break time down to the quantum ...

Determining the passage of time in our world of ticking clocks and oscillating pendulums is a simple case of counting the seconds between 'then' and 'now'. Down at the quantum scale of buzzing ...

For the first time, researchers have successfully coupled a continuous time crystal-a quantum system that oscillates ...

The advent of web-based platforms for behavioural experimentation has revolutionised the way researchers approach data collection, enabling large-scale, cost-effective studies with diverse populations ...
