ISRO to Launch NVS-02 Satellite Boosting India's NavIC System
ISRO will complete its 100th mission with the launch of NVS-02 satellite, on January 29 from Sriharikota using the GSLV-F15 rocket. Part of the Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) system, the satellite enhances precise Position, Velocity, and Timing services for India and nearby regions. Weighing 2,250 kg, it features advanced navigation p...

Here's How Nuclear Clocks Could Redefine Time and Reshape Modern Technology
Timekeeping is entering a new era with nuclear clocks, capable of achieving accuracy to the 19th decimal place. Current atomic clocks rely on caesium-133, but innovations with thorium-229’s nuclear transitions, excited by ultraviolet light, promise unprecedented precision. Scientists aim to redefine the second using elements like strontium by 203...

Groundbreaking Thorium-229 Nuclear Clock May Reveal Changes in Fundamental Constants
A new milestone in atomic physics has been reached with the development of the thorium-229 nuclear clock. This advanced clock offers a precision level that could potentially reveal whether the fundamental constants of physics, such as the speed of light and gravitational constant, change over time. Detected by Chuankun Zhang and his team at JILA, t...

What Is Doomsday Clock And How Does It Work? A 5-Point Explainer
The Doomsday Clock has been ticking for 76 years, but on Tuesday, it was set at 90 seconds until midnight, the closest to the hour it has ever been. The midnight has a symbolic meaning - representing the point of annihilation.

The Length of Earth’s Days Has Been Mysteriously Increasing, and Scientists Don’t Know Why
The length of a day on Earth is increasing, according to atomic clocks and precise astronomical measurements. Scientists have no idea why days are getting longer on the planet, a phenomenon that could impact not just timekeeping but also technology like GPS. Over millions of years, Earth’s rotation has been slowing down due to friction effects as...
