Due to the power outage, time (very) briefly stood still at the NIST Internet Time Service facility in Boulder.

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

NIST restored the precision of its atomic clocks after a power outage caused by a power outage disrupted operations. Discover how this crucial recovery ensures the accuracy of global timekeeping.

Officials said the error is likely too minute for the general public to clock it, but it could affect applications such as ...

How some of the world’s most precise clocks missed a very small beat. By Mike Ives and Adeel Hassan Time appeared to skip a beat last week when some of the world’s most accurate clocks were affected ...

India’s caesium fountains are among the only 12 that exist worldwide. Meet the timekeepers at the Indian Standard Time ...
