A destructive windstorm disrupted the power supply to more than a dozen atomic clocks that keep official time in the United ...

Thanks to Einstein’s relativity, time flows differently on Mars than on Earth. NIST scientists have now nailed down the ...

A severe windstorm in Colorado triggered a power failure at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), ...

The lapse resulted in NIST UTC being 4.8 microseconds slower than it should have been, said NIST spokesperson Rebecca Jacobson, who explained that it takes a person about 350,000 microseconds (0.35 ...

Officials said the error is likely too minute for the general public to clock it, but it could affect applications such as critical infrastructure, telecommunications and GPS signals.

A windstorm in Colorado caused a power outage at NIST, disrupting US official timekeeping and causing a 4.8-microsecond lag. Although atomic clocks ran on battery, a backup generator failure affected ...

For a brief window this month, the official clocks that quietly coordinate the Internet’s heartbeat slipped out of sync. After a power outage hit key servers in Colorado, the National Institute of ...

Art school student Freddie Yauner's CO2-powered Highest Popping Toaster in the World concept is great and all (it's even supposedly Guinness World Record-certified), but a clock that aims to tell time ...

Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. (SEL) has added support for the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) to the SEL-2488 Satellite-Synchronized Network Clock. In just one clock, users can now ...

Time synchronisation is critically important for decentralised systems in industrial automation, such as those found in chemical processing, printing presses, nuclear power plants, or any real-time ...
