Physicists have now seen waves “bounce” off a sudden change in time itself—a twist that flips their direction and shifts ...

Physicists from Imperial College London have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in quantum physics by reimagining the ...

Time’s passage is non-negotiable. Its flow marks the progress of our lives, moving clearly in one direction. It is, by nature, asymmetrical. In this way, we perceive it to move like an arrow, ...

Atomic clocks record time using microwaves at a frequency matched to electron transitions in certain atoms. They are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there is a new kid on the block, the ...

Physics has solved many mysteries yet three problems remain unsolved. This film reveals the questions that continue to ...

Clocks might be far more fundamental to physics than we ever realized. A new theory suggests what we see around us – from the smallest of quantum actions to the cosmic crawl of entire galaxies – could ...

Time, not space plus time, might be the single fundamental property in which all physical phenomena occur, according to a new theory by a University of Alaska Fairbanks scientist. The theory also ...
