As anticipation builds for the longer days that follow this weekend’s switch to daylight savings time, the moment seemed ideal to turn to one of the nation’s leading circadian-rhythms researchers, UC ...

Physicists have demonstrated all the ingredients of a nuclear clock — a device that keeps time by measuring tiny energy shifts inside an atomic nucleus. Such clocks could lead to vast improvements in ...

Atomic clocks use quantum physics and the resonant frequency of atoms, like cesium, to define time. Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by ...

Clocks coming out of a large clock as a 3D illustration. We age along two clocks: a chronological clock and a biological clock. The former is just a measure of how many birthdays you have celebrated — ...

Modern timekeeping relies on the accuracy of atomic clocks, which revolutionized timekeeping by using the quantum behavior of atoms to measure time. Discover how these incredibly precise clocks work, ...

If you want to know your chronological age, simply count the candles on your next birthday cake. Calculating your biological age, though, is a little more complicated. Chronological age is the number ...

When used correctly, they can help us unpick some of the mysteries of our biology, and our mortality. Be honest: Have you ever looked up someone from your childhood on social media with the sole ...
